The aim was to analyze the inteiference in a signal acquisition module (SAM) EMG1000 (Lynx--10(9) Ohms, 16 bits and range of +/-1 V), with active surface electrode (Lynx--gain 20, IRMC > 100 dB) placed over the belly of the brachial biceps of 18 healthy, sedentary volunteers, without osteomyoarticular pathologies in the upper members. Initially, the intrinsic noise of the SAM was assessed by means of a short-circuit between the simple differential and the reference electrodes, and a second stage consisted of collecting the electromyographic signal at rest of the brachial biceps muscle in 4 different procedures. (1) SAM and desktop in the electrical network (EN); (2) SAM in the battery and desktop in the EN; (3) SAM in the EN and desktop connected to the fibre optic (FO) and (4) SAM in the battery and desktop in the FO. The rest signal was collected for 10 seconds and repeated 3 times. RMS and median frequency were assessed with the software Matlab. Under conditions 1, 2 and 3 there was great interference in the signal by EN. Whereas under condition 4, the interference was eliminated. According to the results, the electrical insulation proposed was efficient in eliminating the noise, guaranteeing the quality of the acquired signal.

Introducing superconductivity in topological materials can lead to innovative electronic phases and device functionalities. Here, we present a unique strategy for quantum engineering of superconducting junctions in moiré materials through direct, on-chip, and fully encapsulated 2D crystal growth. We achieve robust and designable superconductivity in Pd-metalized twisted bilayer molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe) and observe anomalous superconducting effects in high-quality junctions across ~20 moiré cells.

Film-coupled plasmonic resonators offer efficient platforms for light enhancement due to the excitation of gap surface plasmons (GSPs) at metal-insulator-metal interfaces, where electromagnetic energy is stored within the spacer. In applications like biosensing and spontaneous emission control, spatial overlap between the target molecule and plasmonic hotspots is essential. Here, we propose utilizing the controllable, efficient light enhancement capabilities of a specifically designed GSP disk resonator for biosensing and spontaneous emission enhancement.

Machine learning algorithms have proven to be effective for essential quantum computation tasks such as quantum error correction and quantum control. Efficient hardware implementation of these algorithms at cryogenic temperatures is essential. Here we utilize magnetic topological insulators as memristors (termed magnetic topological memristors) and introduce a cryogenic in-memory computing scheme based on the coexistence of a chiral edge state and a topological surface state.

The widespread proliferation and increasing use of portable electronic devices and wearables, and the recent developments in artificial intelligence and internet-of-things, have fuelled the need for high-density and low-voltage non-volatile memory devices. Nanocrystal memory, an emergent non-volatile memory (NVM) device that makes use of the Coulomb blockade effect, can potentially result in the scaling of the tunnel dielectric layer to a very small thickness. Since the nanocrystals are electrically isolated, potential charge leakage paths localized defects in the thin tunnel dielectric can be substantially reduced, unlike that in a continuous polysilicon floating gate structure.
