Abstract Modern computation based on von Neumann architecture is now a mature cutting-edge science. In the architecture, processing and memory units are implemented as separate blocks interchanging data intensively continuously. This transfer responsible for large part of power consumption. The next generation computer technology expected to solve problems at exascale with 10 18 calculations each second. Even though these future computers will be incredibly powerful, if they type...
Devices with tunable resistance are highly sought after for neuromorphic computing. Conventional resistive memories, however, suffer from nonlinear and asymmetric tuning excessive write noise, degrading artificial neural network (ANN) accelerator performance. Emerging electrochemical random-access memories (ECRAMs) display linearity, which enables substantially faster ANN training by array programing in parallel. However, state-of-the-art ECRAMs have not yet demonstrated stable efficient...
Abstract Synaptic devices with linear high‐speed switching can accelerate learning in artificial neural networks (ANNs) embodied hardware. Conventional resistive memories however suffer from high write noise and asymmetric conductance tuning, preventing parallel programming of ANN arrays. Electrochemical random‐access (ECRAMs), where occurs by ion insertion into a redox‐active channel, aim to address these challenges due their low noise. ECRAMs using 2D materials metal oxides slow kinetics,...

Electrochemical energy storage is a keystone to support the rapid transition low-carbon-emission future for grid and transportation.

Thus, next-generation should also address integration of recyclability into device design. Here, we demonstrate recyclable based solution-processable...
Abstract The true structure of alternating conjugated polymers—the state‐of‐the‐art materials for many organic electronics—often deviates from the idealized picture. Homocoupling defects are in fact inherent to widely used cross‐coupling polymerization methods. Nevertheless, polymers still perform excellently envisaged applications, which raises question if one should really care about these imperfections. This article looks at relevance chemical precision (and lack thereof) covering entire...
