Most studies of pattern formation place particular emphasis on its role in the development of complex multicellular body plans. In simpler organisms, however, pattern formation is intrinsic to growth and behavior. Inspired by one such organism, the t...

Road planning with slime mould: If Physarum built motorways it would route M6/M74 through Newcastle (2010)
Journal Article
Adamatzky, A., & Jones, J. (2010). Road planning with slime mould: If Physarum built motorways it would route M6/M74 through Newcastle. International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 20(10), 3065-3084. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218127410027568

Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. During its foraging behavior the cell spans spatially distributed sources of nutrients with a protoplasmic network. Geometrical structure of the protoplasmic networks allows... Read More about Road planning with slime mould: If Physarum built motorways it would route M6/M74 through Newcastle.
