Tunable neuromorphic computing for dynamic multi-timescale sensing in motion recognition
Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., LtdPeer-Reviewed Publication
A research paper by scientists at the Beijing Institute of Technology proposed a SnS2-based in-sensor reservoir that offers an effective solution for detecting a variety of motion types at sensory terminals. By leveraging in-sensor reservoir computing, the device excels at classifying different motions across a wide velocity spectrum, providing a novel and promising method for motion recognition.
The new research paper, published on Sep. 30 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented an optoelectronic in-sensor RC device based on monolayer SnS2 synthesized via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. This device demonstrates a notable correlation between its optic response and the duration of illumination, exhibiting excellent optical detection performance under short light illumination. Under long illumination, the sustained optic response can be used to simulate synaptic plasticity.

First 80-kA HTS CICC for high-field fusion reactor applications successfully tested
Higher Education PressResearchers have successfully tested an 80-kA REBCO cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) for high-field fusion applications. The prototype demonstrated stability under extreme conditions, marking a significant step towards practical high-temperature superconductors (HTS) technology for future fusion reactors. Further work is needed to address remaining challenges, but this achievement brings us closer to realizing large-scale, high-field magnet applications.
