Article Abstract
Binary transition metal oxides such as ZnO, TiO2, and MnO; and their various structures such as thin film, nanowire, and nanoparticle assembly; have been widely investigated for use in insulators in resistive random access memory (ReRAM), considered a next-generation nonvolatile memory device. Among the various driving mechanisms of resistive switching in insulating materials, the conductive filament model is one of the most widely accepted. Studies on spatially confined structures such as one-dimensional nanostructures and zero-dimensional nanoparticles to reveal the detailed filament constructing mechanism are warranted because low-dimensional nanostructures can provide more localized properties with a narrow dispersion of operational parameter values compared with thin-film structures. We investigated the resistive switching characteristics of ZnO nanowire (NW) structures. The NWs were grown on an Au/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate via the hydrothermal method. The empty space between the top and bottom electrodes was filled with a photoresist to prevent direct connection between the electrodes. The top electrode (Cr) and bottom electrode (Au), both with a thickness of -100 nm, were deposited by DC sputtering. The current-voltage (I-V) measurements were performed using a semiconductor characterization system. Additionally, the local current image and the point I-V characteristics for each NW were examined by replacing the top electrode with a conducting atomic force microscope tip. The Au-ZnO NW-Cr devices exhibited bipolar resistive switching behavior.

Background: Doravirine is licensed in patients living with HIV (PWH) harbouring no prior resistance to any NNRTIs. We aimed to evaluate in real life the efficacy of doravirine with prior NNRTI virological failure and NNRTI resistance-associated mutations (RAMs).
Methods: This observational study included PWH switched to a doravirine-containing regimen between 30 September 2019 and 1 May 2022, with an HIV-1 RNA of ≤50 copies/mL and past NNRTI-RAMs.

The conductive paths (CPs) established by defects in halide perovskites (HPs) tend to be disrupted under external influences, leading to deterioration of their RRAM performances. Here we propose an effective strategy to enhance the CPs in HP RRAMs by doping Ag to partially substitute Pb in MAPbI, which facilitates the nonlocalized growth of Ag CPs and thereby improves the stability of CPs. The optimal doped device demonstrates excellent RRAM performances including high ON/OFF ratios (>10), long retention (>10 s), large endurance (>10 cycles), uniform parameters, and excellent yield.

To date, various kinds of memristors have been proposed as artificial neurons and synapses for neuromorphic computing to overcome the so-called von Neumann bottleneck in conventional computing architectures. However, related working principles are mostly ascribed to randomly distributed conductive filaments or traps, which usually lead to high stochasticity and poor uniformity. In this work, a heterostructure with a two-dimensional WS monolayer and a ferroelectric PZT film were demonstrated for memristors and artificial synapses, triggered by in-plane ferroelectric polarization.

Background: The widespread selective pressure of antibiotics in the environment has led to the propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the mechanisms by which microbes balance population growth with the enrichment of ARGs remain poorly understood. To address this, we employed microcosm cultivation at different antibiotic (i.
