Tony Kenyon, the director of the Neuroware Innovation and Knowledge Centre (IKC), introduces the UK’s first IKC in neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing hardware — its goals, structure and the broader vision for brain-inspired technologies.
Sergei Turitsyn, the director of the UK Multidisciplinary Centre for Neuromorphic Computing, introduces the UK’s first multidisciplinary centre dedicated to advancing brain-inspired, energy-efficient computing to address sustainability challenges.
The electronics industry has transformed every aspect of people’s lives, with the sector in Mexico —including its designs, manufacturing, global technical support services and supply chains — making a major contribution. To sustain its momentum, Mexico must adapt its electronics industry to rapid technological shifts and changing trade dynamics.
An article in Nature Nanotechnology reports a molecular crystal memristor that exhibits ultralow switching energy and high endurance for neuromorphic computing.
Sonochemical exfoliation of synthesized bulk black phosphorus crystals provides a route to produce high-quality, narrow and clean black phosphorus nanoribbons for practical applications in electronic and optoelectronic fields.
Somatosensory feedback is an essential feature of neural prostheses that aim to restore natural hand dexterity after neurological injuries. This Comment discusses the potential and challenges of electrically stimulating sensory neurons, highlighting the need for highly selective neurotechnology and biomimetic-encoding algorithms for effective brain–machine interfacing.
A study in Nature Communications presents a compact, lightweight, integrated sensor array for real-time monitoring of lithium-ion battery health and safety.
The endurance, retention and system-level performance of memristors for memory and computation has been often misrepresented in articles that lack statistics and use non-standardized characterization and simulation protocols. Here we discuss the origin of these issues, their negative effect in the nascent memristor industry, and potential ways to mitigate them.
This thematic issue highlights research outside the traditional university, where research is driven by practical challenges, real-world products and applications, and economic priorities.
Choon Ki Ahn talks to Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering about research and education in Korea University’s School of Electrical Engineering, including work to advance physical artificial intelligence (AI) for autonomous systems by pioneering new control strategies and learning under uncertainty, to create machines that can operate independently and safely in dynamic, unpredictable and often adversarial real-world environments.
A study in Nature Machine Intelligence presents a foundation model that uses multi-modal images and progressive pretraining to enhance generalizability across diverse Earth observation tasks.
Learning and embodiment are intertwined, resulting in a mutually reinforcing effect. Research should aim not only for learning to enhance embodiment, but also, more importantly, for embodiment to facilitate learning. Achieving synergy between these two aspects remains an ongoing challenge.
Designing marketable 6G measurement tools presents technical and logistical challenges, including generating and capturing signals in new spectrum allocations with high speed and low latency, managing wide bandwidths, and ensuring system-level synchronization. Overcoming these challenges requires advances in hardware design and implementation of instrumentation tools tailored for 6G test environments.
A article in Nature Electronics presents a metal-stamp imprinting technique for the fabrication of wafer-scale, high-quality, residue-free two-dimensional semiconductor arrays.
An article in Nature Cities assesses the deployable potential of rooftop solar photovoltaics across Chinese cities, finding that only 42% of the national technical potential is realistically deployable.
An article in Science Advances presents a bioinspired artificial vibrissal system for wind-source tracking in search-and-rescue and environmental monitoring applications.
