An ultrahigh-impedance superconducting switch could be used to integrate superconducting systems and CMOS control circuitry.

A technique known as ptychographic X-ray laminography can image integrated circuits over large volumes and with a resolution of around 10 nm.

Reservoir computing implemented in memristive hardware can process temporal data with greater energy efficiency than reservoir computers based on CMOS.

This Review Article examines the development of epitaxial growth and layer transfer techniques for monolithic integration of dissimilar single-crystalline materials for application in advanced electronic and photonic devices.

A superconducting switch that is capable of translating low-voltage superconducting inputs directly into semiconductor-compatible outputs at kelvin-scale temperatures could provide a superconductor-to-semiconductor logical interface for future quantum and neuromorphic computing architectures.

Graphene-based Hall magnetometers can be used to study the magnetization of two-dimensional ferromagnets.

A technique that combines X-ray ptychography with laminography can provide three-dimensional views of integrated circuits, yielding both images of entire chip volumes and high-resolution images of arbitrarily chosen subregions, and is applicable to any imaging problem where the samples are planar.

A manufacturing technology that uses a deformable balloon stamp to pick up pre-fabricated electronic devices and print them onto three-dimensional surfaces can be used to create devices with curvy shapes, including electrically small antennas, hemispherical solar cells and smart contact lenses.

A reservoir computer system based on dynamic tungsten oxide memristors can be used to perform time-series analysis, demonstrating isolated spoken-digit recognition with partial inputs and chaotic system forecasting.
