Scientists develop computer-like memory from shiitake mushrooms that could replace silicon-based chips

Scientists have engineered a novel memory device using mushroom mycelium, the intricate white threads beneath fungi. These bio-based circuits, dubbed 'mushristors,' exhibit memory capabilities by adapting to electrical currents, mimicking brain-like functions. This breakthrough offers a promising, eco-friendly alternative to silicon chips, potentially leading to more energy-efficient computing in the future.
