Emerging Technologies Papers of the Week

Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) logic can operate at ultra-high clock frequencies; however, its physical design is complicated by explicit splitter trees and deep gate-level pipelines in which every logic gate is clocked. To address this challenge, we present qLevelPlace, a level-based placement framework for RSFQ circuits.

Here we show that a porous PANI membrane, prepared by simple spin-coating, functions as a volatile ionic synapse whose short-term plasticity is chemically reconfigurable.

In this review, we trace the evolution of polar topological textures in ferroelectrics from the early experimental breakthroughs to the emergence of diverse material platforms.

Here we report a nonalternant, air-stable tetraradical featuring two fused 7-5-7 rings and a strongly correlated singlet ground state.

We introduce a T-junction device linking two independently driven shuttle lanes.

Here, we propose a mechanism for deterministic Néel vector reversal in 2D van der Waals antiferromagnets enabled by ultrafast laser pulses.

Here, we propose a design principle to order disordered mixed-Q topological magnetism into periodic lattice via moiré engineering.

This review summarizes the luminescent, optoelectronic, and nonlinear optical properties of representative 2D materials and discusses recent progress in 2D‐material‐integrated light sources, photodetectors, and optical modulators.

The all-electronic approach combined with the 2D magnetic medium creates timely opportunities to revisit the energy-assisted magnetization recording, enabling new schemes that combine fundamental novelty with technological impact.

This work presents a feasible MoS x interlayer modification strategy to optimize high‐performance artificial synapses on oxide memristors, enabling co‐integration of neuromorphic computing and hardware security.

In this work, we present WAVES, a wearable system for continuous monitoring of muscle stiffness via active vibroacoustic sensing.

Here, we demonstrate a vertical Pt/VO 2 /Pt memristor that integrates multiple neuromorphic functions within a single volatile device platform.

Here, we introduce local information processing capacity (L-IPC), which represents individual dynamical states as vectors in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and decomposes their computational properties through subspace projections onto nonlinearity orders and memory steps, with the residual quantifying computational irrelevance.

Using density functional theory, we reported five stable semiconducting altermagnetic monolayers: Cr2X2O and Janus Cr2XYO (X, Y = S, Se, Te, X ≠ Y).

In this paper, we study a hybrid BD-RIS-assisted multi-UAV rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) downlink, in which UAVs within favourable BD-RIS coverage use both direct and BD-RIS-aided links, whereas the remaining UAVs are served through direct links only.

While operando grazing‐incidence wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (GIWAXS) has emerged as a powerful tool to probe such changes, its temporal resolution remains fundamentally mismatched with the rapid ion dynamics in OMIECs, often obscuring transient microstructural states. Here, we introduce a time‐aligned operando GIWAXS methodology that bridges this gap by extending the electrochemical doping time constant through engineered device geometry.
