What if living organisms could perform some of the tasks handled by silicon chips? New research suggests fungal systems can exhibit memory-like electrical behavior, opening the door to unconventional, ...

They may be better known for stir-fries than supercomputing, but shiitake mushrooms have now been harnessed to function as living processors, storing and recalling data like a semiconductor chip but ...

You can grow a computer on your kitchen counter. Well, sort of. That’s the radical implication of new research from The Ohio State University, where scientists have turned humble shiitake mushrooms ...

Scientists have found that mushrooms can act as organic memory devices, mimicking neural activity while consuming minimal power. The Ohio State team grew and trained shiitake fungi to perform like ...
