SLIME MOULD COMMUNICATION. "A crucial part of researching how D. discoideum is able to form multicellular bodies from its unicellular components is understanding how those single cells communicate with each other in these aggregation and differentiation processes." https://lnkd.in/dzE-VSU View in LinkedIn

CHOOSY EATERS. "Audrey Dussutour of the University of Paul Sabatier in France placed slime molds in the center of a clock face of 11 different pieces of food, each with a unique ratio of proteins and carbohydrates. When presented with this circular menu, slime molds consistently glommed onto the piece of food with optimal balance of nutrients." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brainless-slime-molds/ View in LinkedIn

DESIGNER MOULDS. "Andrew Adamatzky of the University of the West of England Bristol and other researchers were so impressed with the protists' behaviors that they have proposed using slime molds to help plan future roadway construction, either with a living protist or a computer program that adopts its decision-making process." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brainless-slime-molds/ View in LinkedIn

ROUTING BY SLIME MOLDS. “In our protocol, we identify one key adaptation parameter to adjust the tradeoff between efficiency and robustness of network routes. Through extensive realistic network simulations and ideal closed form or numerical computations, we validate the effectiveness of both protocols, as well as the efficiency and robustness of the resulting network connectivity.” https://lnkd.in/d5Gtvbw View in LinkedIn

EVOLVING RESPONSE. "Slime mold responds to external stimuli, so, upon hearing and seeing its own electrical signal, it reacts—creating a new and different electrical pattern. And so the process continues and the sound evolves into a cybernetic slime mold composition." http://singularityhub.com/2015/07/29/the-artist-whos-making-cybernetic-slime-mold-sing/ View in LinkedIn
