On effect of chloroform on electrical activity of proteinoids (2024)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, produce hollow microspheres in aqueous solutions. Ensembles of the microspheres produce endogenous spikes of electrical activity, similar to that of neurons. To make the first step toward the evaluation of the mechan... Read More about On effect of chloroform on electrical activity of proteinoids.

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.

Spike trains in PANI-proteinoid nanomaterials with different light pulse rates (2024)
Journal Article

Bio-inspired computing emulates the brain's information processing power in artificial architectures. We investigate the modification of emergent spike train dynamics in hybrid networks of polyaniline (PANI) nanomaterials hybridised with proteinoids...

Thermosensory spiking activity of proteinoid microspheres cross-linked by actin filaments (2024)
Journal Article

Actin, found in all eukaryotic cells as globular (G) or filamentous (F) actin, undergoes polymerization, with G-actin units changing shape to become F-actin. Thermal proteins, or proteinoids, are created by heating amino acids (160-200 °C), forming p...

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...

Memfractance of proteinoids (2024)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are amino acid polymers formed at high temperatures by nonbiological processes. The objective of this study is to examine the memfractance characteristics of proteinoids within a supersaturated hydroxyapatite solutio... Read More about Memfractance of proteinoids.

Proto–neural networks from thermal proteins (2024)
Journal Article

Proteinoids are synthetic polymers that have structural similarities to natural proteins, and their formation is achieved through the application of heat to amino acid combinations in a dehydrated environment. The thermal proteins, initially synthesi... Read More about Proto–neural networks from thermal proteins.

Proto-neurons from abiotic polypeptides (2024)
Journal Article

To understand the origins of life, we must first gain a grasp of the unresolved emergence of the first informational polymers and cell-like assemblies that developed into living systems. Heating amino acid mixtures to their boiling point produces the... Read More about Proto-neurons from abiotic polypeptides.

On interaction of proteinoids with simulated neural networks (2024)
Journal Article

Proteinoid-neuron networks combine biological neurons with spiking proteinoid microspheres, which are generated by thermal condensation of amino acids. Complex and dynamic spiking patterns in response to varied stimuli make these networks suitable fo... Read More about On interaction of proteinoids with simulated neural networks.
