The development of neuromorphic hardware provides a compelling approach for tackling the increasingly evident capacity, performance, and energy bottlenecks in classical computing. However, as ...

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 ...

One of the biggest problems with e-waste is that it doesn't decompose, which is why these new shiitake mushroom–based ...

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 ...

Fungal networks may be a promising alternative to tiny metal devices used in processing and storing digital memories and other computer data, according to a new study. Mushrooms have long been ...

A new paper published in PLOS One shows that mushrooms can act as the "memristors" required for many next-gen computing applications. Memristors could offer enormous speed boosts over traditional ...

Japan is one of the leading producers of shiitake mushrooms. These mushrooms are notoriously difficult to cultivate on a commercial scale — especially when using the 1,000-year-old Japanese technique ...
