Oxide-based two-terminal resistive random access memory (RRAM) is considered one of the most promising candidates for next-generation nonvolatile memory. We introduce here a new RRAM memory structure employing a nanoporous (NP) silicon oxide (SiOx) material which enables unipolar switching through its internal vertical nanogap. Through the control of the stochastic filament formation at low voltage, the NP SiOx memory exhibited an extremely low electroforming voltage (∼ 1.6 V) and outstanding performance metrics. These include multibit storage ability (up to 9-bits), a high ON-OFF ratio (up to 10(7) A), a long high-temperature lifetime (≥ 10(4) s at 100 °C), excellent cycling endurance (≥ 10(5)), sub-50 ns switching speeds, and low power consumption (∼ 6 × 10(-5) W/bit). Also provided is the room temperature processability for versatile fabrication without any compliance current being needed during electroforming or switching operations. Taken together, these metrics in NP SiOx RRAM provide a route toward easily accessed nonvolatile memory applications.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) serves as a crucial intervention for patients with severe pulmonary dysfunction by facilitating oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal. While traditional ECMO systems are effective, their large priming volumes and significant blood-contacting surface areas can lead to complications, particularly in neonates and pediatric patients. Microfluidic ECMO systems offer a promising alternative by miniaturizing the ECMO technology, reducing blood volume requirements, and minimizing device surface area to improve safety and efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- The ionic conductance in charged nanopores exhibits a power-law behavior at low salinity, influenced by surface charges that affect zeta potential and ion distributions.
- Accurately measuring surface charge density in single-digit nanopores poses challenges, leading researchers to develop new methodologies to investigate these effects.
- Through experiments with silicon nitride nanopores, a modified conductance model was established to analyze the relationship between pore concentration, surface charges, and potential leakage, allowing for a better understanding of ion mobility in nanopores.

A high-speed interferometric system was developed to analyze nanostructured porous silicon (PS) membranes by measuring reflectance variations during capillary filling from both sides. A high-speed camera was employed to capture the reflectance evolution of the entire sample area with the necessary temporal resolution, providing quantitative information on filling dynamics. By integrating these data with a simple fluid dynamic model, it is possible to examine the internal structure of the membranes and determine the effective pore radii profiles along their thickness.

Glycans, nucleic acids and proteins are three major classes of natural biopolymers. The extremely high diversity of isomerization makes structural elucidation of glycans the most challenging job among three classes. In the past few years, the single molecule sensing technique based on nanopores has achieved great success in sequencing of DNA.

Owing to the facile fabrication and surface modification, the cost-effective polymer nanopores are widely employed in unimolecular determination of biomacromolecules and selective sensing of small molecules, nanoparticles and biomarkers. However, the documented polymer nanochannels are generally microscale in length with low spatial resolution. We herein synthesized azobenzene side-chain polymer (Azo-PMA) and spin-coated on silicon nitride membrane to obtain a polymer film of nanoscale thickness for further nanopore generation via controlled dielectric breakdown (CDB) approach.
