TL;DR: The discovery of a Ag(2)S inorganic synapse is reported, which emulates the synaptic functions of both STP and LTP characteristics through the use of input pulse repetition time and indicates a breakthrough in mimicking synaptic behaviour essential for the further creation of artificial neural systems that emulate characteristics of human memory.

TL;DR: Novel functions, such as selective volatile/nonvolatile, synaptic, memristive, and photo-assisted operations have been demonstrated, which can not only improve the performance of present-day electronic systems, but also enable development of new types of electronic systems such as beyond von- Neumann computers.

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling framework for nanoarchitectonics that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and therefore expensive and expensive process of designing materials for nanomaterials engineering.

TL;DR: Detailed current-voltage and current-time measurements are reported to reveal the forming and switching behaviors of Cu/Ta(2)O(5)/Pt nonvolatile resistive memory devices and concluded that the RESET process consists of the Joule-heating-assisted oxidation of Cu atoms at the thinnest part of the metal filament followed by diffusion and drift of the Cu ions under their own concentration gradient and the applied electric field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of ambient moisture on the operation of oxide-based Gapless-type atomic switches has been investigated and it is shown that residual water has a major impact on the ionization and migration processes and plays a major role in determining the operation voltages.
