Zhu and Y. Abate and N. Jiang and S. K. R. S. Sankaranarayanan and A. Sengupta and C. Teuscher and S. Ramanathan. Reconfigurable perovskite nickelate electronics for artificial intelligence. Science, 375(6580): 533-539, 2022. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abj7943

“Having all the core functionality required for neuromorphic computing in one type of a device could offer dramatic improvements to emerging computing architectures and brain-inspired hardware for artificial intelligence. Zhang et al. showed that proton-doped perovskite neodymium nickelate (NdNiO3) could be reconfigured at room temperature by simple electrical pulses to generate the different functions of neuron, synapse, resistor, and capacitor (see the Perspective by John). The authors designed a prototype experimental network that not only demonstrated electrical reconfiguration of the device, but also showed that such dynamic networks enabled a better approximation of the dataset for incremental learning scenarios compared with static networks.” —YS

tlab High School Intern Wins Congressional App Challenge

Shreya Suresh, a high school intern in the lab, won the Congressional App Challenge.

Shreya created an app called “Sightly” for people who are visually impaired. The app uses a smartphone’s camera to identify objects in the world, like a staircase or crosswalk signal, and report them to the user with audio messages.

Watch Shreya’s submission video at https://youtu.be/h74XZBPo2yM

Shreya will be presenting the app on Capitol Hill in DC in 2022.
