iflscience - Mushrooms Could Beat Metal For Large-Scale Memory Storage And Processing

De la mémoire informatique « champipi ».  Original.  Extraits:

LaRocco and co-authors grew shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes), dehydrated the mycelium, and connected samples to electric circuits, which were used to apply a range of voltages and frequencies, using both square and sinusoidal waves. 

The samples’ resistances changed, depending on the inputs, providing a memory. "We would connect electrical wires and probes at different points on the mushrooms because distinct parts of it have different electrical properties," LaRocco said. "Depending on the voltage and connectivity, we were seeing different performances."

Rhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, take my money and shut up !

Inspired by the powerful Sharingan eye from Naruto, this unique desktop plaything from Nikola Toy displays mesmerizing animated visuals inside of a see-through orb. Once activated, it changes between its forms and plays sounds to go with them.

Watching this at the risk of illusions

Pas mal, je cite:

Les microcathéters sont des dispositifs médicaux qui peuvent se faufiler dans les vaisseaux sanguins du corps pour délivrer des traitements vitaux, par exemple pour déboucher des artères obstruées ou pour arrêter les saignements. Ils peuvent également être utilisés pour couper l’apport sanguin vers une tumeur ou administrer une chimiothérapie hautement ciblée.
