Graphene has demonstrated potential for use in neuromorphic electronics due to its superior electrical properties. However, these devices are all based on graphene sheets without patterning, restricting its applications. Here, we demonstrate a graphene nanoribbon synaptic transistor (GNST), with the graphene nanoribbon (GNR) channels fabricated using an electro-hydrodynamically printed nanowire array as lithographic masks for scalable fabrication. The GNST shows tunable synaptic plasticity by spike duration, frequency, and number. Moreover, the device is energy-efficient and ambipolar and shows a regulated response by nanoribbon width. The characteristics of GNSTs are applicable to pattern recognition, showing an accuracy of 84.5%. The device is applicable to Pavlov's classical conditioning. This study reports the first synaptic transistor based on GNRs, providing new insights into future neuromorphic electronics.

Vanadium oxide (VO) is an exotic phase-change material with diverse applications ranging from thermochromic smart windows to thermal sensors, neuromorphic computing, and tunable metasurfaces. Nonetheless, the mechanism responsible for its metal-insulator phase transition remains a subject of vigorous debate. Here, we investigate the ultrafast dynamics of the photoinduced phase transition in VO under low perturbation conditions.

Ferroelectrics based on van der Waals semiconductors represent an emergent class of materials for disruptive technologies ranging from neuromorphic computing to low-power electronics. However, many theoretical predictions of their electronic properties have yet to be confirmed experimentally and exploited. Here, we use nanoscale angle-resolved photoemission electron spectroscopy and optical transmission in high magnetic fields to reveal the electronic band structure of the van der Waals ferroelectric indium selenide (α-InSe).

Visual sensors, including 3D light detection and ranging, neuromorphic dynamic vision sensor, and conventional frame cameras, are increasingly integrated into edge-side intelligent machines. However, their data are heterogeneous, causing complexity in system development. Moreover, conventional digital hardware is constrained by von Neumann bottleneck and the physical limit of transistor scaling.
