The ultimate memristor, which acts as resistive memory and an artificial neural synapse, is made from a single atomic layer. In this manuscript, we present experimental evidence of the memristive properties of a nanopatterned ferroelectric graphene field-effect transistor (FET). The graphene FET has, as a channel, a graphene monolayer transferred onto an HfO-based ferroelectric material, the channel being nanopatterned with an array of holes with a diameter of 20 nm.

Homeostasis is essential in biological neural networks, optimizing information processing and experience-dependent learning by maintaining the balance of neuronal activity. However, conventional two-terminal memristors have limitations in implementing homeostatic functions due to the absence of global regulation ability. Here, three-terminal oxide memtransistor-based homeostatic synapses are demonstrated to perform highly linear synaptic weight update and enhanced accuracy in neuromorphic computing.

Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations we thoroughly explored the influence of grain boundaries (GBs) in monolayer MoS composed of S-polar (S5|7), Mo-polar (Mo5|7), and (4|8) edge dislocation, as well as an edge dislocation-double S vacancy complex (S4|6), and a dislocation-double S interstitial complex (S6|8), respectively, on the electronic properties of MoS and the Schottky barrier height (SBH) in MoS@Au heterojunctions. Our findings demonstrate that GBs formed by edge dislocations can significantly reduce the SBH in defect-free MoS, with the strongest effect for zigzag (4|8) GBs (-20% reduction) and the weakest for armchair (5|7) GBs (-10% reduction). In addition, a larger tilt angle in the GBs leads to a more pronounced decrease in the SBH, suggesting that the modulation of SBH in the MoS@Au heterostructure and analogous systems can be accomplished by GB engineering.

The concept of cross-sensor modulation, wherein one sensor modality can influence another's response, is often overlooked in traditional sensor fusion architectures, leading to missed opportunities for enhancing data accuracy and robustness. In contrast, biological systems, such as aquatic animals like crayfish, demonstrate superior sensor fusion through multisensory integration. These organisms adeptly integrate visual, tactile, and chemical cues to perform tasks such as evading predators and locating prey.
