Agar‐Based Optical Sensing System With a Phosphorescent Grid Pattern for Measuring Stress Distributions of Root Growth Using the Sampling Moiré Method

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Artificial Synaptic Device Based on Self‐Aligned c‐In2O3 TFTs With an Ultrathin MgO Interlayer

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A coplanar synaptic thin‐film transistor based on crystalline In2O3 is demonstrated using a PECVD SiO2 gate insulator and an ultrathin MgO interlayer. The MgO interlayer suppresses excessive carrier density and may facilitate proton‐related interfacial polarization, resulting in stable counterclockwise hysteresis and synaptic behavior.
