Abstract

We discuss hybrid systems where the slime mould is interfaced with organic electronics devices. We demonstrate the realisation of slime mould Schottky diode and organic electrochemical transistor. A central part of the chapter is dedicated to the integration of the Physarum into organic memristive device, an electronic element with synapse-like properties. We describe an architecture and working principles of the hybrid devices and variations of their electrical and optical properties as a result of the interaction with slime mould. We demonstrate that the slime mould is a smart candidate for the implementation of functional properties of smart living systems into electronic devices.
