A behavior that has attracted particular attention as a means of solving complex mathematical problems is that of Physarum polycephalum, a single-cell slime mold that has often been used as a model in studies investigating biological phenomena. In the past, replicating the behavior of this particular single-cell organism has proved useful for solving different graph-related and combinatorial problems. Inspired by previous findings, researchers at Democritus University of Thrace and the University of the West of England have developed a model for designing logic gates that is partly inspired by the behavior of P. polycephalum.
