Slime Mold Algorithm Mimics the Universe’s Cosmic Web

creates complex chains of networks like slime mold

Inspired by slime mold’s ability to create complex chains of networks to find the most efficient path to food sources, a team of astrophysicists has developed an algorithm that mirrors the intricate structure of the Cosmic Web. This intricate structure includes galaxies, gas, and dark matter and forms a web-like structure that resembles very much the network formed by slime molds. With this adapted slime mold algorithm, researchers claim more detailed discrete structures than the old methods.
