In this paper, we investigate the three-stage, wavelength-space-wavelength switching fabric architecture for nodes in elastic optical networks. In general, this switching fabric has r input and output switches with wavelength-converting capabilities and one center-stage space switch that does not change the spectrum used by a connection. This architecture is most commonly denoted by the WSW1 (, , ) switching network. We focus on this switching fabric serving simultaneous connection routing. Such routing takes place mostly in synchronous packet networks, where packets for switching arrive at the inputs of a switching network at the same time. Until now, only switching fabrics with up to three inputs and outputs have been extensively investigated. Routing in switching fabrics of greater capacity is estimated based on routing in switches with two or three inputs and outputs. We now improve the results for the switching fabrics with four inputs and outputs and use these results to estimate routing in the switching fabric with an arbitrary number of inputs and outputs. We propose six routing algorithms based on matrix decomposition for simultaneous connection routing. For the proposed routing algorithms, we derive criteria under which they always succeed. The proposed routing algorithms allow the construction of nonblocking switching fabrics with a lower number of wavelength converters and the reduction of the overall switching fabric cost.

SrFeO (SFO) offers a topotactic phase transformation between an insulating brownmillerite SrFeO (BM-SFO) phase and a conductive perovskite SrFeO (PV-SFO) phase, making it a competitive candidate for use in resistive memory and neuromorphic computing. However, most of existing SFO-based memristors are nonvolatile devices which struggle to achieve short-term synaptic plasticity (STP). To address this issue and realize STP, we propose to leverage ferroelectric polarization to effectively draw ions across the interface so that the PV-SFO conductive filaments (CFs) can be ruptured in absence of an external field.

Current challenges in tissue engineering include creation of extracellular environments that support and interact with cells using biochemical, mechanical, and structural cues. Spatial control over these cues is currently limited due to a lack of suitable fabrication techniques. This study introduces Xolography, an emerging dual-color light-sheet volumetric printing technology, to achieve control over structural and mechanical features for hydrogel-based photoresins at micro- to macroscale while printing within minutes.

The increase in computational power demand led by the development of Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming unsustainable. New paradigms of computation, which potentially differ from digital computation, together with novel hardware architecture and devices, are anticipated to reduce the exorbitant energy demand for data-processing tasks. Memristive systems with resistive switching behavior are under intense research, given their prominent role in the fabrication of memory devices that promise the desired hardware revolution in our intensive data-driven era.
