We realize and investigate an all-semiconductor quantized voltage source which generates quantized output voltages V(out) = f(h/e) linked only to two fundamental constants, the electron's charge e and Planck's constant h, and to an applied excitation frequency f. The device is based on an integrated quantized circuit of a single-electron pump operated at pumping frequency f and a quantum Hall device monolithically integrated in series. Robust output voltages up to several μV are generated, which are expected to be scalable by orders of magnitude using present technology. The device might open a new route towards the closure of the quantum metrology triangle.

Components needed in Artificial Intelligence with a higher information capacity are critically needed and have garnered significant attention at the forefront of information technology. This study utilizes solution-processed zinc-tin oxide (ZTO) thin-film phototransistors and modulates the values of , which allows for the regulation of electron trapping/detrapping at the ZTO/SiO interface. By coupling the excited photonic carrier and electronic trapping, logic gates such as "AND," "OR," "NAND," and "NOR" can be achieved.

This paper presents an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) fabricated using the CMOS 180 nm process to perform simultaneous neural recording and optogenetic stimulation. To perform effective optogenetic stimulation, the ASIC features an advanced switched-capacitor-based stimulation (SCS) driver, called voltage-boosting SCS (VB-SCS). The VB-SCS can drive LED with large current pulses up to 8 mA while reducing the required supply voltage by half, facilitating wireless power reception.

Nonlinear transport phenomena in condensed matter reflect the geometric nature, quantum coherence, and many-body correlation of electronic states. Electric currents in solids are classified into (i) ohmic current, (ii) supercurrent, and (iii) geometric or topological current. While the nonlinear current-voltage (-) characteristics of the former two categories have been extensive research topics recently, those of the last category remains unexplored.
