Percolation theory-based KMC simulation for scaled Fe-FET based multi-bit computing-in-memory with temperature compensation strategy.

In this letter, we investigated the impact of percolation transport mechanisms on ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) multi-value storage with Kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulation considering aspect ratio and temperature dependencies. It is found that the portion of the ferroelectric polarization, which dominated the threshold voltage shift of the FeFET, increases when aspect ratio of device decreases. Moreover, randomness of percolation path formation and variations of equivalent conductance can be suppressed, indicating mitigation of device-to-device variations and enhancement of separation of individual states.

Molecular characterization of a novel mitochondrial NOD-like receptor X1 in chicken that negatively regulates IFN-β expression via STING.

NOD-like receptor X1 (NLRX1) is known for its unique mitochondrial localization and plays a negative role in innate immunity. The initial characterization and function of chicken NLRX1 remain unclear. Here, chicken mitochondrial-targeted NLRX1 (chNLRX1) protein was identified.
