LIVING DEVICES. “Slime mold microfluidic logical gates. We explored the topologies of Physarum protoplasmic networks and demonstrated that basic logical gates can be implemented in living slime P. polycephalum. The Physarum fluidic gates are synchronized by propagating calcium waves. Slime mold P. polycephalum is a living microfluidic device. Even the diameter of Physarum protoplasmic tubes, approx. 100 μm, matches the width of most common man-made microfluidic devices.”
