Fungi Breakthrough: Mushrooms Power Next-Gen Computing Chips
Researchers have successfully trained common mushrooms to function as organic memory chips, achieving performance comparable to conventional semiconductors. The breakthrough could lead to biodegradable, low-power computing systems that mimic neural activity. This development represents a significant step toward environmentally friendly electronics.
In what sounds like science fiction, researchers are now growing computer components from mushrooms. According to recent findings from The Ohio State University, common edible fungi like shiitake mushrooms can be trained to act as memory chips, potentially revolutionizing how we build sustainable computing systems.
