High-Speed and Low-Energy Resistive Switching with Two-Dimensional Cobalt Phosphorus Trisulfide for Efficient Neuromorphic Computing.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials hold significant potential for the development of neuromorphic computing architectures owing to their exceptional electrical tunability, mechanical flexibility, and compatibility with heterointegration. However, the practical implementation of 2D memristors in neuromorphic computing is often hindered by the challenges of simultaneously achieving low latency and low energy consumption. Here, we demonstrate memristors based on 2D cobalt phosphorus trisulfide (CoPS), which achieve impressive performance metrics including high switching speed (20 ns), low switching energy (1.

Spatially reconfigurable antiferromagnetic states in topologically rich free-standing nanomembranes.

Antiferromagnets hosting real-space topological textures are promising platforms to model fundamental ultrafast phenomena and explore spintronics. However, they have only been epitaxially fabricated on specific symmetry-matched substrates, thereby preserving their intrinsic magneto-crystalline order. This curtails their integration with dissimilar supports, restricting the scope of fundamental and applied investigations.

A Low-Latency DNN Accelerator Enabled by DFT-Based Convolution Execution Within Crossbar Arrays.

Analog resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices enable parallelized nonvolatile in-memory vector-matrix multiplications for neural networks eliminating the bottlenecks posed by von Neumann architecture. While using RRAMs improves the accelerator performance and enables their deployment at the edge, the high tuning time needed to update the RRAM conductance states adds significant burden and latency to real-time system training. In this article, we develop an in-memory discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based convolution methodology to reduce system latency and input regeneration.

Technology Roadmap for Flexible Sensors.

Humans rely increasingly on sensors to address grand challenges and to improve quality of life in the era of digitalization and big data. For ubiquitous sensing, flexible sensors are developed to overcome the limitations of conventional rigid counterparts. Despite rapid advancement in bench-side research over the last decade, the market adoption of flexible sensors remains limited.
