slimeboards

Slimeboards are living, electronic, circuit boards.

 

By extruding, or bioprinting, the Physarum Polycephalum through a syringe we have successfully shown the ability to produce wires of Physarum that can transmit electronic signals. These wires can act as a replacement to traditional wires in electronic circuit boards. 

By changing the diet of the Physarum we have increased the conductivity of these living wires.
