Hybrid Slime Mold - Containing Systems for Unconventional Computing

Three systems containing slime mold are under the consideration in this paper. In the first case, slime mold was loaded with microparticles, demonstrating the possibility of their transport during the growth. In a case of magnetic particles, it was introduced a new method of the affecting the growth direction: deflector - direction control by the external magnetic field. In the second case, we have demonstrated the variation of the polyaniline layer conductivity in zones where slime mold passed. In the third case, slime mold was used as an electrolyte in organic memristive device.
