A research team has developed a liquid metal-based electronic logic device that mimics the intelligent prey-capture mechanism of Venus flytraps. Exhibiting memory and counting properties, the device can intelligently respond to various stimulus sequences without the need for additional electronic components.

Liquid metal-based electronic logic device that mimics intelligent prey-capture mechanism of Venus flytrap The intelligent strategies and logic mechanisms in the device provide a fresh perspective on understanding 'intelligence' in nature and offer inspiration for the development of 'embodied intelligence'.

Inspired by the internal electrical signal accumulation/decay model of Venus flytraps, Prof. SHEN Yajing, Associate Professor of the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at HKUST, who led the research, joined hands with his former PhD student at City University of Hong Kong, Dr. YANG Yuanyuan, now Associate Professor at Xiamen University, proposed a liquid metal-based logic module based on the extension/contraction deformation of liquid metal wires.

"Several years ago, when Dr. Yang was still pursuing her PhD in my research group, we discussed the idea of constructing intelligent entities inspired by plants together. It is gratifying that after several years of effort, we have achieved the conceptual verification and simulation of Venus flytrap intelligence.
