Article Abstract

Polymers containing Pd L complexes as network junctions were obtained by reaction of poly(ethylene glycol)-linked N-donor ligands with Pd. The addition of a metastable state photoacid renders the networks light sensitive, and gel-sol transitions can be achieved by irradiation with light. The inverse process, a light-induced sol-gel transition, was realized by using a molecularly defined Pd complex as an acid-sensitive reservoir for Pd. Upon irradiation, Pd ions are released, allowing the formation of an acid-resistant polymer network. Both the gel-sol and the sol-gel transitions are reversed in the dark.

Soft conductive composites are significant components of soft and wearable electronics. Existing soft conductive composites encounter difficulties in attaining 10% of copper's electrical conductivity while maintaining high stretchability. In this work, a novel "soft conductive junction" concept is introduced to overcome the conductivity-stretchability trade-off.

Background: Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition causing chronic damage to the tooth-supporting connective tissues, leading to tooth loss in adults. Diagnosing periodontitis requires clinical and radiographic examinations, with panoramic radiographs crucial in identifying and assessing its severity and staging. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a deep learning method for visual data analysis, and Dense Convolutional Networks (DenseNet), which utilize direct feed-forward connections between layers, enable high-performance computer vision tasks with reduced computational demands.

Ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) based on ferroelectric switching and quantum tunneling effects with thickness down to a few unit cells have been explored for applications of two-dimensional (2D) electronic devices in data storage and neural networks. As a key performance indicator, the enhanced tunneling electrosistance (TER) ratio provides a broader dynamic range for precise modulation of synaptic weights, improving the stability and accuracy of neural networks. Herein, we report an observation of pronounced enhancement in the TER ratio by over 4 orders of magnitude through the fabrication of large-scale heterostructures combining bismuth ferrite with two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper oxide BiFeO.
