Living electronics in cellulose zoogleal mats (2024)
Journal Article

The review starts by investigating the concepts that underpin the use of kombucha in electronic systems, such as its conducting properties, self-healing properties, and capacity to form long-lasting biofilms. The research explores the diverse uses of... Read More about Living electronics in cellulose zoogleal mats.

On emergence of spontaneous oscillations in kombucha and proteinoids (2024)
Journal Article

An important part of studying living systems is figuring out the complicated steps that lead to order from chaos. Spontaneous oscillations are a key part of self-organisation in many biological and chemical networks, including kombucha and proteinoid...

Proteinoids–polyaniline interaction with stimulated neurons on living and plastic surfaces (2024)
Journal Article

The integration of proteinoid-polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers with neuromorphic architectures shows potential for developing computer systems that are adaptable, energy-efficient, and have the capacity of tolerating faults. This work examines the capac... Read More about Proteinoids–polyaniline interaction with stimulated neurons on living and plastic surfaces.

Kombucha–proteinoid crystal bioelectric circuits (2024)
Journal Article

We propose “kombucha–proteinoid crystal bioelectric circuits” as a sustainable bio-computing platform. These circuits are hybrid biological-inorganic devices that utilize crystal growth dynamics as the physical substrate to convert information. Micro...

On transducing properties of kombucha−proteinoid complexes (2024)
Journal Article

We investigate the information processing capacities of kombucha−proteinoid proto−brains, focusing on the transducing properties through accommodation spiking, tonic bursting spiking, and optical and acoustic stimulation. We explore self-organization... Read More about On transducing properties of kombucha−proteinoid complexes.

Electroactive composite biofilms integrating Kombucha, Chlorella and synthetic proteinoid Proto-Brains (2024)
Journal Article

In this study, we present electroactive biofilms made from a combination of Kombucha zoogleal mats and thermal proteinoids. These biofilms have potential applications in unconventional computing and robotic skin. Proteinoids are synthesized by therma...

No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated (2023)
Journal Article

Many organisms (including certain plant species) can be observed to emit sounds, potentially signifying threat alerts. Sensitivity to such sounds and vibrations may also play an important role in the lives of fungi. In this work, we explore the poten...
