Organic field-effect transistors with parallel transmission and learning functions are of interest in the development of brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. However, the poor performance and high power consumption are the two main issues limiting their practical applications. Herein, an ultralow-power vertical transistor is demonstrated based on transition-metal carbides/nitrides (MXene) and organic single crystal. The transistor exhibits a high J of 16.6 mA cm and a high J /J ratio of 9.12 × 10 under an ultralow working voltage of -1 mV. Furthermore, it can successfully simulate the functions of biological synapse under electrical modulation along with consuming only 8.7 aJ of power per spike. It also permits multilevel information decoding modes with a significant gap between the readable time of professionals and nonprofessionals, producing a high signal-to-noise ratio up to 114.15 dB. This work encourages the use of vertical transistors and organic single crystal in decoding information and advances the development of low-power neuromorphic systems.

Recent advancements in phase-change memory (PCM) technology have predominantly stemmed from material-level designs, which have led to fast and durable device performances. However, there remains a pressing need to address the enormous energy consumption through device-level electrothermal solutions. Thus, the concept of a 3D heater-all-around (HAA) PCM fabricated along the vertical nanoscale hole of dielectric/metal/dielectric stacks is proposed.

Skin-conformal organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have attracted significant attention for real-time physiological signal monitoring and are vital for health diagnostics and treatments. However, mechanical harmonization amid the inherent dynamic nature of the skin surface and the acquisition of intrinsic physiological signals are significant challenges that hinder the integration of the ultimate skin interface. Thus, this study proposes a novel 4-terminal (4-T) vertical Corbino OECT, exhibiting high transconductance (>400 mS) and offering remarkable resilience and operational stability at an extremely low voltage of 10 mV (1.

Maximizing the molecular information density requires simultaneously functionalizing distinct monomers and their coupling connections. However, current synthesis generally focuses on distinct monomers rather than coupling reactions because the multistep reactions significantly escalate the synthetic complexity in an exponential increase. Here, we report the two-dimensional nanoarchitectures (2DNs) of end-on oligomers, with versatile molecular structures and negative differential resistance (NDR), synthesized by programmed and surface-initiated step electrosynthesis based on the simultaneous utilization of six reactions including cross- and homocouplings.
