- Scientists Build a Working Computer Memory from Shiitake Mushrooms
➀ Scientists have developed a working memristor using the mycelium of shiitake mushrooms, offering a potential low-cost, scalable, and environmentally friendly alternative to current memory hardware.
➁ The performance of these 'mushristors' is comparable to that of silicon-based chips, with the added benefit of being biodegradable.
➂ The research, published in PLOS One, suggests that the future of computing could involve fungal materials.
