Description The Slime mold Physarum polycephalum was a source of explosive growth of bioengineered hybrid sensing and computing devices in the past decade.
It has been seen as a self-conscious liquid.
The Slime mold\'s adaptability, polymorphism and aestheticism inspired artists and architects.
Being in its vegetative state--the plasmodium--the Slime mold configures its protoplasmic network to optimize its geometry with relation to patterns of attractants and repellents.
