Information in conventional digital computing platforms is encoded in the steady states of transistors and processed in a quasi-static way. Memristors are a class of emerging devices that naturally embody dynamics through their internal electrophyiscal processes, enabling nonconventional computing paradigms with enhanced capability and energy efficiency, such as reservoir computing. Here, we report on a dynamic memristor based on LiNbO.

Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials have drawn significant attention due to their outstanding sensitivity. However, the Boltzmann distribution of electrons imposes a physical limit on the subthreshold swing (SS), and a 2D-material biosensor with sub-60 mV/dec SS has not been realized, which hinders further increase of the sensitivity of 2D-material FET biosensors. Here, we report tunnel FETs (TFETs) based on a SnSe/WSe heterostructure and observe the tunneling effect of a 2D material in aqueous solution for the first time with an ultralow SS of 29 mV/dec.
