Bidirectional optoelectronic switching in protein by photoinduced phase transition

Protein polymers conduct electricity due to the delocalization of π electrons along the conjugated main chains, but their photoconductivity often shows unidirectional tunability. We report a protein polymer with bidirectional optoelectronic conductivity because of reversible ligh...

Kinetic-Controlled Ultrafast Synthesis of Ordered Intermetallic Nanoparticles

Abstract The disorder–order transition of metal alloys delivers ordered intermetallic nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient and stable catalysts. However, this transition is practically challenging due to the thermodynamically low driving force and the complex kinetic competition with...

All-Optically Controlled Memristive Reservoir Computing Capable of Bipolar and Parallel Coding

Physical reservoir computing (RC) utilizes intrinsic dynamics of physical systems for efficient data processing. Emerging optoelectronic RC platforms merge the benefits of electronic and photonic computation. However, conventional designs are constrained by the unipolar photoresp...
