Fully integrated multi-mode optoelectronic memristor array for diversified in-sensor computing.

In-sensor computing, which integrates sensing, memory and processing functions, has shown substantial potential in artificial vision systems. However, large-scale monolithic integration of in-sensor computing based on emerging devices with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits remains challenging, lacking functional demonstrations at the hardware level. Here we report a fully integrated 1-kb array with 128 × 8 one-transistor one-optoelectronic memristor (OEM) cells and silicon CMOS circuits, which features configurable multi-mode functionality encompassing three different modes of electronic memristor, dynamic OEM and non-volatile OEM (NV-OEM).

Nanoscale multistate resistive switching in WO through scanning probe induced proton evolution.

Multistate resistive switching device emerges as a promising electronic unit for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing. Electric-field induced topotactic phase transition with ionic evolution represents an important pathway for this purpose, which, however, faces significant challenges in device scaling. This work demonstrates a convenient scanning-probe-induced proton evolution within WO, driving a reversible insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) at nanoscale.

Analog memristive synapse based on topotactic phase transition for high-performance neuromorphic computing and neural network pruning.

Inspired by the human brain, nonvolatile memories (NVMs)-based neuromorphic computing emerges as a promising paradigm to build power-efficient computing hardware for artificial intelligence. However, existing NVMs still suffer from physically imperfect device characteristics. In this work, a topotactic phase transition random-access memory (TPT-RAM) with a unique diffusive nonvolatile dual mode based on SrCoO is demonstrated.

Molecular cloning, mRNA expression and alternative splicing of a ryanodine receptor gene from the citrus whitefly, Dialeurodes citri (Ashmead).

Insect ryanodine receptors are the main targets of diamide insecticides that have highly selective insecticidal activity but are less toxic to mammals. Therefore, these insecticides are ideal for pest control. Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) play a critical role in Ca signaling in muscle and non-muscle cells.

Functional characterization of two acetylcholinesterase genes in the brown citrus aphid, Aphis (Toxoptera) citricidus (Kirkaldy), using heterologous expression and RNA interference.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the primary target of organophosphate- and carbamate-based insecticides. We sequenced the full-length cDNAs of two AChE genes from the brown citrus aphid Aphis (Toxoptera) citricidus (Kirkaldy). These two genes, Tcace1 and Tcace2, which encode TcAChE1 and TcAChE2, respectively, had a shared amino acid identity of 29% and were highly similar to other insect ace1 and ace2 genes, respectively, having specific functional motifs.
