Physics-Informed Neural Network Surrogate for Oxygen Vacancy Dynamics in epitaxial $\mathrm{SrTiO_3}$ on Si memristors via Dynamic Spectral Optimization

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are applied to model ion‑electronic drift‑diffusion in Pt/SrTiO₃/Si memristive heterostructures, overcoming numerical stiffness and multiscale spatial challenges. A cascaded PINN architecture with a custom Chebyshev spectral optimizer (DSO V2 Hybrid) isolates potential, carrier density, and vacancy transport into four sequential sub‑networks, avoiding condition numbers above 10¹⁶. The surrogate reproduces experimental conductive‑AFM current‑voltage hysteresis with R² > 0.96, maintains Poisson consistency, and offers differentiable inverse parameter estimation and linear‑time inference compared to conventional finite‑element solvers.

Evolutionary chemical learning in dimerization networks

The paper introduces Competitive Dimerization Networks (CDNs) as a chemical learning framework where molecular species bind reversibly to form dimers, with binding affinities acting as tunable synaptic weights. Through a directed evolution protocol involving mutation, selection, and amplification of DNA-based components, CDNs can be trained in vitro to perform complex tasks such as multiclass classification, achieving strong output contrast and high mutual information. Comparative studies with in silico gradient descent show closely correlated performance, positioning CDNs as a promising platform for analog physical computation that bridges synthetic biology and machine learning.

From Processing to Functionality: Engineering Accessible Material States in Cu-Embedded SiO$_x$ Memristive Devices

The paper develops a multiscale framework linking plasma deposition conditions to the functionality of sputtered SiO$_x$/Cu/SiO$_x$ memristive devices. By analyzing over 50,000 devices and combining plasma and atomistic simulations, it shows that device behavior arises from a probabilistic cascade of defect formation, evolution, and functional regime emergence, rather than deterministic mappings. A latent descriptor based on reconstructed oxygen‑vacancy density captures the combined effects of structural disorder and defect topology, linking hidden material properties to observable electrical responses and explaining variability in large‑area devices.

End-to-End Radar and Communication Modulation Recognition with Neuromorphic Computing

arXiv:2606. 24075v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although deep learning-based methods can achieve high accuracy in automatic modulation recognition (AMR) tasks, their high computational cost makes it difficult to strike a balance between accuracy and power consumption, thereby limiting their application on resource-constrained platforms.
