Living Kombucha Electronics with Proteinoids

Scientists created a new material by combining Kombucha cellulose with synthetic proteinoids (protein-like structures made from amino acids) to produce living electronics that can sense and process information. This hybrid material exhibits unusual electrical properties, including the ability to perform logic operations like computer circuits. The proportions of each component can be adjusted to customize the electrical behavior, opening possibilities for wearable technology and brain-inspired computing devices.

Sustainable memristors from shiitake mycelium for high-frequency bioelectronics

Scientists have discovered that shiitake mushrooms can be grown into computer memory devices called memristors. These fungal memristors work similarly to brain neurons, can be dried and stored for later use, and operate reliably at high speeds. Because they use common, biodegradable mushrooms instead of rare minerals, they offer an environmentally friendly alternative for computing that could be used in spacecraft and other advanced applications.
