This paper presents a van der Waals ReS2/hBN/InSe floating-gate synaptic transistor that integrates nonvolatile memory with broadband optoelectronic learning to enable bidirectional weight modulation, essential synaptic functions, and higher-order associative learning within a single compact device for next-generation neuromorphic computing.
This paper addresses the critical challenge of erroneous data in literature-mined AI datasets by proposing a taxonomy of extraction errors and a layered verification framework that combines physical laws, statistical consensus, and provenance checks to significantly improve model accuracy and prevent false discoveries in materials science and related fields.
This paper presents a precision-first, physics-aware pipeline that autonomously constructs a reliable electro-optic materials database from literature, successfully filtering noisy data to enable generalizable property prediction and inverse material design.
This paper presents a unified semiconductor transport and charge-conservation framework that analyzes light-induced charging and spatially selective photochemistry on ferroelectric surfaces across five distinct environmental and electrical conditions, thereby explaining diverse photodeposition morphologies and establishing a theoretical basis for modulated photovoltage imaging.
First-principles calculations reveal that transition metal-functionalized aza-triphenylene monolayers, particularly those anchored with Co, Ru, and Y, serve as highly efficient and thermally stable electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction by optimizing hydrogen adsorption free energy and facilitating a Volmer-Heyrovsky reaction pathway.
This paper presents a novel non-local kinetic framework combining semi-Markov renewal transport, the generalized Doob's h-transform, and the Feynman-Kac formalism to model the thermodynamics of radiation-induced damage in WWER fuel claddings, revealing how boundary stress singularities drive a distinct sigmoidal degradation trajectory and localized lifespan reduction.
This study demonstrates that substituting lead into NiBi stabilizes an anomalously enhanced two-dimensional surface superconducting state with a transition temperature nearly double that of the bulk and a critical field ratio far exceeding conventional theoretical limits.
This paper demonstrates that interference between the electric and magnetic components of light can induce even-order nonlinear optical effects, such as charge and spin photocurrents, in centrosymmetric crystals, thereby unlocking new photonic functionalities in inversion-symmetric materials like silicon and strontium titanate.
This study demonstrates that high-temperature annealing in nitrogen versus air atmospheres distinctly controls the paramagnetic defect populations and temperature-dependent electronic properties of ZnO microparticles, as revealed by temperature-dependent electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
This study employs first-principles calculations and continuum heat-conduction models to systematically characterize the electronic structures, thermal transport mechanisms, and laser-induced heating responses of various ultrahigh-temperature carbides, revealing distinct differences between metallic transition-metal carbides and semiconducting SiC that are critical for predicting their thermal performance under laser irradiation.
