Nearly all existing nanoelectronic sensors are based on charge detection, where molecular binding changes the charge density of the sensor and leads to sensing signal. However, intrinsically slow dynamics of interface-trapped charges and defect-mediated charge-transfer processes significantly limit those sensors' response to tens to hundreds of seconds, which has long been known as a bottleneck...

Biosensor response time, which depends sensitively on the transport of biomolecules to the sensor surface, is a critical concern for future biosensor applications. We have fabricated carbon nanotube field-effect transistor biosensors and quantified protein binding rates onto these nanoelectronic sensors. Using this experimental platform we test the effectiveness of a protein repellent coating d...

Stochastic Spiking Neural Networks based on nanoelectronic spin devices can be a possible pathway at achieving “brain-like” compact and energy-efficient cognitive intelligence. The computational model attempt to exploit the intrinsic device stochasticity of nanoelectronic synaptic or neural components to perform learning or inference. However, there has been limited analysis on the scaling effe...

This extended abstract outlines my invited keynote presentation of the recent work on neuromorphic networks (“CrossNets”) based on hybrid CMOS/nanoelectronic (“CMOL”) circuits, in the space-saving Q/A format.

A novel plumbene/hBN heterostructure exhibits a tunable direct bandgap and low effective mass, whereas plumbene has an indirect bandgap. The intriguing characteristics of the have inspired emergence Pb-based nanoelectronic devices.

In situ monitoring electrochemical interfaces is crucial for fundamental understanding and continued optimization of electrocatalysts. Conventional spectroscopic techniques are generally difficult to implement for in situ electrochemical studies. Here we report an on-chip electrical transport spectroscopy approach for directly probing the electrochemical surfaces of metallic nanocatalysts in ac...
