In terms of energy efficiency and computational speed, neuromorphic electronics based on nonvolatile memory devices are expected to be one of most promising hardware candidates for future artificial intelligence (AI). However, catastrophic forgetting, networks rapidly overwriting previously learned weights when learning new tasks, remains a pivotal obstacle in either digital or analog AI chips for unleashing the true power of brainlike computing. To address catastrophic forgetting in the context of online memory storage, a complex synapse model (the Benna-Fusi model) was proposed recently [M. K. Benna and S. Fusi, Nat. Neurosci. 19, 1697 (2016)], the synaptic weight and internal variables of which evolve following diffusion dynamics. In this work, by designing a proton transistor with a series of charge-diffusion-controlled storage components, we have experimentally realized the Benna-Fusi artificial complex synapse. Memory consolidation from coupled storage components is revealed by both numerical simulations and experimental observations. Different memory timescales for the complex synapse are engineered by the diffusion length of charge carriers and the capacity and number of coupled storage components. The advantages of the demonstrated complex synapse for both memory capacity and memory consolidation are revealed by neural network simulations of face-familiarity detection. Our experimental realization of the complex synapse suggests a promising approach to enhance memory capacity and to enable continual learning.

Proteins are composed of linear chains of amino acids that fold into complex three-dimensional structures. A general feature of folded proteins is that they are compact with a radius of gyration Rg(N) ∼ Nν that obeys power-law scaling with the number of amino acids N in each protein and ν ∼ 1/3. In this study, we investigate the internal scaling of the radius of gyration Rg(n) versus the chemical separation n between amino acids for all subchains of length n. We show that for globular proteins Rg(n) ∼ nν1,2 with a larger exponent ν1 > 1/3 for small n and a smaller exponent ν2 g(N) ∝ Nν. To describe this scaling behavior for Rg(n), we carry out folding simulations for a series of coarse-grained models for proteins beginning with the freely-jointed and freely-rotating chain models composed of spherical monomers and varying degrees of stereochemical constraints. We show that a minimal model, which coarse-grains amino acids into a single spherical backbone atom and one variable-sized spherical side-chain atom, and enforces bend- and dihedral-angle constraints, can recapitulate Rg(n) for x-ray crystal structures of globular proteins. In addition, this model predicts the correct average packing fraction and size of the hydrophobic core, which are two key physical features that can be used to distinguish between computational 'decoys' and correctly folded proteins in protein design applications. © 2025, CC BY.

Isospectrality is a general fundamental concept often involving whether various operators can have identical spectra, i.e., the same set of eigenvalues. In the context of the Laplacian operator, the famous question "Can one hear the shape of a drum?" concerns whether different shaped drums can have the same vibrational modes. The isospectrality of a lattice in d-dimensional Euclidean space Rd is a tantamount to whether it is uniquely determined by its theta series, i.e., the radial distribution function g2(r). While much is known about the isospectrality of Bravais lattices across dimensions, little is known about this question of more general crystal (periodic) structures with an n-particle basis (n ≥ 2). Here, we ask, What is nmin(d), the minimum value of n for inequivalent (i.e., unrelated by isometric symmetries) crystals with the same theta function in space dimension d? To answer these questions, we use rigorous methods as well as a precise numerical algorithm that enables us to determine the minimum multi-particle basis of inequivalent isospectral crystals. Our algorithm identifies isospectral 4-, 3- and 2-particle bases in one, two and three spatial dimensions, respectively. For many of these isospectral crystals, we rigorously show that they indeed possess identical g2(r) up to infinite r. Based on our analyses, we conjecture that nmin(d) = 4, 3, 2 for d = 1, 2, 3, respectively. The identification of isospectral crystals enables one to study the degeneracy of the ground-state under the action of isotropic pair potentials. Indeed, using inverse statistical-mechanical techniques, we find an isotropic pair potential whose low-temperature configurations in two dimensions obtained via simulated annealing can lead to both of two isospectral crystal structures with n = 3, the proportion of which can be controlled by the cooling rate. Our findings provide general insights into the structural and ground-state degeneracies of crystal structures as determined by radia

Hybrid organic-inorganic solar cell devices were fabricated utilizing macroporous n-type GaP and poly（3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）：poly（4-styrene sulfonate）（PEDOT：PSS）. The high-aspect ratio structures of the macroporous GaP resulted in higher photocurrent and external quantum yield as a function of wavelength. Photocurrent-voltage measurements as a function of light intensity revealed information on the dependence of short-circuit current （Jsc） and open-circuit voltage （Voc） on light intensity. Under 1.0 Sun illumination, hybrid macroporous GaPJPEDOT：PSS devices showed Jsc of 2.34 mA cm 2, Voc of 0.95 V, fill factor of 0.54, and overall efficiency of 1.21%. The extent of the influence of dopant density of GaP on hybrid device performance was probed with current density-voltage measurements. The addition of a gold nanoparticle coating on macroporous GaP prior to PEDOT：PSS coating showed increased device performance, with overall efficiency of 1.81%. Gold-modified planar GaPJPEDOT：PSS showed decreased Jsc and Voc values and lower external quantum yield over all wavelengths,

Stealthy interactions are an emerging class of nontrivial, bounded long-ranged oscillatory pair potentials with classical ground states that can be disordered, hyperuniform, and infinitely degenerate. Their hybrid crystal-liquid nature endows them with novel physical properties with advantages over their crystalline counterparts. Here, we show the existence of nonequilibrium hard-sphere glasses within this unusual ground-state manifold as the stealthiness parameter χ tends to zero that are remarkably configurationally extremely close to hyperuniform 3D maximally random jammed (MRJ) sphere packings. The latter are prototypical glasses since they are maximally disordered, perfectly rigid, and perfectly nonergodic. Our optimization procedure, which leverages the maximum cardinality of the infinite ground-state set, not only guarantees that our packings are hyperuniform with the same structure-factor scaling exponent as the MRJ state, but they share other salient structural attributes, including a packing fraction of 0.638, a mean contact number per particle of 6, gap exponent of 0.44(1), and pair correlation functions g2(r) and structures factors S(k) that are virtually identical to one another for all r and k, respectively. Moreover, we demonstrate that stealthy hyperuniform packings can be created within the disordered regime (0 © 2025, CC0.

Two-phase heterogeneous materials arise in a plethora of natural and synthetic situations, such as alloys, composites, geological media, complex fluids, and biological media, exhibit a wide-variety of microstructures, and thus display a broad-spectrum of effective physical properties. Elucidating how microstructural details (e.g., specific surface, phase volume fractions, geometries, and topologies) influence two-phase materials’ effective transport and mechanical properties enhances our fundamental understanding of microstructure-property relationships, and is of great practical use in the design of structural and functional materials. Here, we compute the three-point microstructural parameters ζ2 and η2 for phase 2 to evaluate bounds and accurate approximation formulas on the effective thermal/electrical conductivities σe as well as the bulk Ke and shear Ge moduli of a wide class of disordered 2D and 3D material microstructures;including various dispersions of hard and penetrable particles, certain amorphous dispersions, and networks. These parameters are determined using a Monte Carlo integration scheme that incorporates certain algorithmic enhancements that improve upon the accuracy and performance of previous methods. Our results reveal that ζ2 and η2 are sensitive to the phase-connectedness properties of microstructures. Using numerical simulations and rigorous approximations that incorporate ζ2 and η2, we show that certain disordered microstructures nearly realize the Hashin-Shtrikman lower and upper bounds on σe, Ke, and Ge across volume-fractions. We also describe how our algorithm can be used in inverse methodologies to realize ordered and disordered materials with desirable effective physical properties by targeting specific values of ζ2 and η2, and hence aid in materials by design. © 2025, The Authors.

Recently synthesized Porous 12-Atom-Wide Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons (12-AGNRs) [Nano Lett. 2024, 24, 10718-10723]exhibit tunable properties through periodic porosity, enabling precise control over their electronic, optical, thermal, and mechanical behavior. This work presents a comprehensive theoretical characterization of pristine and porous 12-AGNRs based on density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. DFT calculations reveal substantial electronic modifications, including band gap widening and the emergence of localized states. Analyzed within the Bethe–Salpeter equation (BSE) framework, optical properties highlight strong excitonic effects and significant absorption shifts. Thermal transport simulations indicate a pronounced reduction in conductivity due to enhanced phonon scattering at nanopores. At the same time, MD-based mechanical analysis shows decreased stiffness and strength while maintaining structural integrity. Despite these modifications, porous 12-AGNRs remain mechanically and thermally stable. These findings establish porosity engineering as a powerful strategy for tailoring graphene nanoribbons’ functional properties, reinforcing their potential for nanoelectronic, optoelectronic, and thermal management *** Codes 00-xx © 2025, CC BY.
