We experimentally and numerically propose an approach for implementing spike-based neuromorphic exclusive OR (XOR) operation using a single vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifier (VCSOA). XOR operation is realized based on the neuron-like inhibitory dynamics of the VCSOA subject to dual-polarized pulsed optical injections. The inhibitory dynamics based on the polarization-mode competition effect are analyzed, and the inhibitory response can be obtained in a suitable range of wavelength detuning. Here, all input and output bits are represented by spikes that are compatible with the photonic spiking neural network. The experimental and numerical results show that XOR operation can be realized in two polarization modes by adjusting the time offset in the inhibitory window and setting defined reference thresholds. In addition, the influences of delay time and input intensity ratio on XOR operation are studied experimentally. This scheme is energy efficient because VCSOA neuromorphic photonics computing and information processing.

The integration of mid-infrared (MIR) photodetectors with built-in encryption capabilities holds immense promise for advancing secure communications in decentralized networks and compact sensing systems. However, achieving high sensitivity, self-powered operation, and reliable performance at room temperature within a miniaturized form factor remains a formidable challenge, largely due to constraints in MIR light absorption and the intricacies of embedding encryption at the device level. Here, a novel on-chip metamaterial-enhanced, 2D tantalum nickel selenide (Ta₂NiSe₅)-based photodetector, meticulously designed with a custom-engineered plasmonic resonance microstructure to achieve self-powered photodetection in the nanoampere range is unveiled.

Optical computing offers advantages such as high bandwidth and low loss, playing a crucial role in signal processing, communication, and sensing applications. Traditional optical logic gates, based on nonlinear fibers and optical amplifiers, suffer from poor robustness and large footprints, hindering their on-chip integration. All-optical logic gates based on topological photonic crystals have emerged as a promising approach for developing robust and monolithic optical computing systems.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, combining remarkable electrical properties and mechanical flexibility, offer fascinating opportunities for flexible integrated circuits (ICs). Despite notable progress, so far the showcased 2D flexible ICs have been constrained to basic logic gates and ring oscillators with a maximum integration scale of a few thin film transistors (TFTs), creating a significant disparity in terms of circuit scale and functionality. Here, we demonstrate medium-scale flexible ICs integrating both combinational and sequential elements based on 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS).

Ergothioneine is a diet-derived micronutrient for humans. However, enzymes involved in the catabolism of ergothioneine in human gut bacteria have not yet been identified. Herein, we characterize a sulfidogenic pathway for gut bacterial catabolism of this micronutrient, which involves an unprecedented reductive desulfurization reaction catalyzed by members of the xanthine oxidoreductase family (XOR), a class of molybdenum-containing flavoproteins.

Mechanical computing promises to integrate semiconductor-based digital logic in several applications, but it needs straightforward programmable devices for changing computing rules in situ. A methodology based on strain-governed, bistable soft shells that process digital information by interchanging their internal/external surfaces is proposed. This bistable behavior, explained via model-based design, safeguards robustness by working only once for each input pulse.
