Mushrooms As Computer Memory
Fungi make up a massive, interconnected part of Earth’s ecosystems, yet they’re vastly underrepresented in research and public consciousness compared to plants and animals.
A group of researchers at The Ohio State University have found a way to use fungi as organic memristors, hinting at a possible future where fungal networks help power our computing devices.
A memristor is a passive electronic component whose resistance changes based on the voltage and current that has passed through it, which means it can effectively remember past electrical states even when power is removed.
Author's summary: Fungi can be used as organic computer memory.
