Logical gates in ensembles of proteinoid microspheres (2023)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., & Adamatzky, A. (2023). Logical gates in ensembles of proteinoid microspheres. PLoS ONE, 18(9), Article e0289433. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0289433

Proteinoids are thermal proteins which swell into microspheres in aqueous solution. Ensembles of proteinoids produce electrical spiking activity similar to that of neurons. We introduce a novel method for implementing logical gates in the ensembles o... Read More about Logical gates in ensembles of proteinoid microspheres.

Proteinoid microspheres as protoneural networks (2023)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., & Adamatzky, A. (2023). Proteinoid microspheres as protoneural networks. ACS Omega, 8(38), 35417–35426. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c05670

Proteinoids, also known as thermal proteins, possess a fascinating ability to generate microspheres that exhibit electrical spikes resembling the action potentials of neurons. These spiking microspheres, referred to as protoneurons, hold the potentia... Read More about Proteinoid microspheres as protoneural networks.

Light induced spiking of proteinoids (2023)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., & Adamatzky, A. (2023). Light induced spiking of proteinoids. BioSystems, 232, Article 105015. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2023.105015

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are produced by heating amino acids to their melting point and initiating polymerisation to produce polymeric chains. In aqueous solutions proteinoids swell into hollow microspheres. These microspheres produce endoge... Read More about Light induced spiking of proteinoids.

Learning in colloids: Synapse-like ZnO + DMSO colloid (2023)
Journal Article
Kheirabadi, N. R., Chiolerio, A., Phillips, N., & Adamatzky, A. (2023). Learning in colloids: Synapse-like ZnO + DMSO colloid. Neurocomputing, 557, Article 126710. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2023.126710

Colloids subjected to electrical stimuli exhibit a reconfiguration that might be used to store information and potentially compute. In a colloidal suspension of ZnO nanoparticles in DMSO, we investigated the learning, memorization, time and stimulati... Read More about Learning in colloids: Synapse-like ZnO + DMSO colloid.

Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune (2023)
Journal Article
Adamatzky, A., Schunselaar, E., Wösten, H. A. B., & Ayres, P. (2023). Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune. Scientific Reports, 13(1), Article 12808. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-40163-z

Growing colonies of the split-gill fungus Schizophyllum commune show action potential-like spikes of extracellular electrical potential. We analysed several days of electrical activity recording of the fungus and discovered three families of oscillat... Read More about Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune.

No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated (2023)
Journal Article
Phillips, N., Remedios, S. W., Nikolaidou, A., Baracskai, Z., & Adamatzky, A. (2023). No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated. Ultrasonics, 135, Article 107111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultras.2023.107111

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...

Propagation of electrical signals by fungi (2023)
Journal Article
Mayne, R., Roberts, N., Phillips, N., Weerasekera, R., & Adamatzky, A. (2023). Propagation of electrical signals by fungi. BioSystems, 229, Article 104933. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2023.104933

Living fungal mycelium networks are proven to have properties of memristors, capacitors and various sensors. To further progress our designs in fungal electronics we need to evaluate how electrical signals can be propagated through mycelium networks....
