Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Thickness‐Defined Transport Regime Toward Near‐Ideal Area‐Type Switching

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By thinning the oxide layer, memristors pass from diode‐like and battery‐effect‐dominated behavior toward eventual short‐circuit failure. Within the intermediate 5–6 nm window, they reach a near‐ideal analog area‐type switching regime, featuring symmetric hysteresis, area‐dependent conductance, and continuous linear programming of HRS and LRS with ...

Bio‐Inspired Object Retrieval via Proximity‐Guided Adaptive Thigmotactic Exploration and Neuromorphic Recognition

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Sparse active‐infrared proximity sensing is coupled to an adaptive thigmotactic controller for camera‐inaccessible object retrieval. After grasping, receptor‐informed encoding transforms force, temperature, and wrist force–torque signals into spike trains for spiking neural network recognition.
