A computational approach inspired by the growth patterns of a bright yellow slime mold has enabled a team of astronomers and computer scientists to trace the filaments of the cosmic web that connects ...

Slime mold may be one of Earth's "simplest" life forms, but it's providing a new way to learn about the universe. Abrar's interests include phones, streaming, autonomous vehicles, internet trends, ...

A slime mold creates an optimized transport network, finding the most efficient pathways to connect food sources. In the cosmic web, the growth of structure produces networks that are also, in a sense ...
