Article Synopsis
  • New optoelectronic devices are emerging from the use of memristors that can be modulated with light, benefiting fields like computer vision and artificial intelligence.
  • The study features memristors made from a hybrid material of zinc oxide nanorods and PMMA, which do not need a forming step and show effective electronic switching.
  • These devices can switch with UV light and demonstrate notable memory capabilities, enabling applications in neural networks and neuromorphic computing due to their unique photonic synaptic functions.

Health literacy is a vital asset needed to empower individuals to take control of their health. An individual's health literacy is the ability to find, use and apply health information and services to manage their health. They interact with the health services and members of their community who can offer additional support.

Article Synopsis
  • Emojis help people understand emotions better in messages because they don't have body language.
  • This study looked at how different types of emojis (face vs. non-face) affect how quickly we recognize words.
  • The results showed that face emojis grab our attention more and that positive emojis help us recognize positive words faster than negative ones.

It is often suggested that piloerection, or goosebumps, is primarily triggered by emotional experience-theoretical perspectives place a heavy emphasis on experiencing novelty and surprise. However, the two studies described here challenge this perspective, demonstrating that the incidence of piloerection is not contingent upon exposure to novel stimuli and is disconnected from self-reported emotions. Study 1 (N = 80) shows that piloerection was not more likely to occur among individuals exposed to unfamiliar stimuli compared to those with prior exposure.

Article Synopsis
  • * These devices exhibit a mixed-mode switching capability, enabling them to operate in both short-term and long-term memory states, which can be influenced by the voltage applied.
  • * The short-term mode can replicate various synaptic functions, while the long-term mode supports features for plasticity applications, highlighting their potential for adaptive neuromorphic computing systems.
