    Review Article
  • For a long time, spin–orbit coupling in bismuthates has been considered to be negligible; however, giant charge-to-spin conversion has now been observed in Ba(Pb,Bi)O3-based heterostructures. These observations provide a path toward investigating the interplay of hidden spin–orbit phenomena and superconductivity.

    Research Briefing
  • A polymer-free method for stacking 2D materials has been demonstrated, using a cantilevered transfer support made from metallized silicon nitride. The assembly process, which is compatible with ultrahigh-vacuum operation, results in atomically clean and uniform interfaces.

  • A silicon photonics modulator design approach is proposed, in which the inductive networks and termination resistors are designed in conjunction with the optical phase shifter. A complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) silicon photonics transmitter developed with this approach achieved 112 gigabaud transmission with an energy efficiency better than 1 pJ per bit.

    Research Briefing
  • The Perspective explores the future design of lifelong learning artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators that are intended for deployment in untethered environments, identifying key desirable capabilities for such edge AI accelerators and guidance on metrics to evaluate them.
