Living Mycelium as an Actively Probed Sensing Medium
In work led by Bao Zhao and Sophia Ganzeboom, we present a new approach to sensing with living materials. By actively interrogating living mycelium with controlled electrical inputs, the study establishes a robust, physics-based framework for characterizing signal propagation in bio-based sensing media—opening new pathways for sustainable structural health monitoring.
