The data processing efficiency of traditional computers is suffering from the intrinsic limitation of physically separated processing and memory units. Logic-in-memory and brain-inspired neuromorphic computing are promising in-memory computing paradigms for improving the computing efficiency and avoiding high power consumption caused by extra data movement. However, memristors that can conduct digital memcomputing and neuromorphic computing simultaneously are limited by the difference in the information form between digital data and analogue data. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a flexible low-dimensional memristor based on boron nitride (BN), which has ultralow-power non-volatile memory characteristic, reliable digital memcomputing capabilities, and integrated ultrafast neuromorphic computing capabilities in a single in situ computing system. The logic-in-memory basis, including FALSE, material implication (IMP), and NAND, are implemented successfully. The power consumption of the proposed memristor per synaptic event (198 fJ) can be as low as biology (fJ level) and the response time (1 μs) of the neuromorphic computing is four orders of magnitude shorter than that of the human brain (10 ms), paving the way for wearable ultrahigh efficient next-generation in-memory computing architectures.

Mixed signal analog/digital neuromorphic circuits represent an ideal medium for reproducing bio-physically realistic dynamics of biological neural systems in real-time. However, similar to their biological counterparts, these circuits have limited resolution and are affected by a high degree of variability. By developing a recurrent spiking neural network model of the retinocortical visual pathway, we show how such noisy and heterogeneous computing substrate can produce linear receptive fields tuned to visual stimuli with specific orientations and spatial frequencies.

Biological neural circuits demonstrate exceptional adaptability to diverse tasks by dynamically adjusting neural connections to efficiently process information. However, current two-dimension materials-based neuromorphic hardware mainly focuses on specific devices to individually mimic artificial synapse or heterosynapse or soma and encoding the inner neural states to realize corresponding mock object function. Recent advancements suggest that integrating multiple two-dimension material devices to realize brain-like functions including the inter-mutual connecting assembly engineering has become a new research trend.
