Article Abstract
We report a transparent indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO)-based optoelectronic synapse that exhibits strong persistent photoconductivity and tunable synaptic plasticity. The device, built on a quartz substrate with indium tin oxide electrodes, maintains over 70% transparency in the visible range, enabling stealthy operation. By modulating light duration, intensity, and frequency, we achieve key neuromorphic behaviors. A 3 × 3 device array further demonstrates trajectory tracking by mapping real-time ultraviolet illumination sequences. Notably, upon re-illumination, the device shows enhanced current, mirroring relearning in biological synapses. This work highlights the feasibility of IGZO-based synapses for next-generation transparent neuromorphic devices, providing new avenues for covert sensing for military purpose, interactive displays, and adaptive wearable electronics.

Neuromorphic computing presents a promising solution for the von Neumann bottleneck, enabling energy-efficient and intelligent sensing platforms. Although 2D materials are ideal for bioinspired neuromorphic devices, achieving multifunctional synaptic operations with simple configurations and linear weight updates remains challenging. Inspired by biological axons, the in-plane anisotropy of 2D NbGeTe is exploited to develop dual electronic-optical synaptic devices.

2D chalcogenide-based memristors have the potential to be used in artificial biological visual systems since their synaptic behavior can be optically and electrically modulated. Furthermore, 2D van der Waals materials such as SnS can be used to integrate multifunctional optoelectronic devices by employing a rational design. Here, the simulation of a human biological visual system is reported by using multifunctional optoelectronic synaptic devices.

Neuronal control of skeletal muscle function is ubiquitous across species for locomotion and doing work. In particular, emergent behaviors of neurons in biohybrid neuromuscular systems can advance bioinspired locomotion research. Although recent studies have demonstrated that chemical or optogenetic stimulation of neurons can control muscular actuation through the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the correlation between neuronal activities and resulting modulation in the muscle responses is less understood, hindering the engineering of high-level functional biohybrid systems.

Neuromorphic computing addresses the von Neumann bottleneck by integrating memory and processing to emulate synaptic behavior. Artificial synapses enable this functionality through analog conductance modulation, low-power operation, and nanoscale integration. Halide perovskites with high ionic mobilities and solution processabilities have emerged as promising materials for such devices; however, inherent stochastic ion migration and thermal instability lead to asymmetric and nonlinear characteristics, ultimately impairing their learning and inference capabilities.

Nonvolatile optoelectronic synapses motivated by the human eye can effectively function as convolutional kernels to preprocess images, demonstrating significant promise for edge computing. Among the optoelectronic synapses, the floating-gate photosensitive transistor (FG-PT) is particularly noteworthy due to its rapid response speed and excellent retention. Although some FG-PTs are reported, they still suffer from high operating voltages, low conductance ratios, and difficulties in array preparation.
