Review of Memristors for In‐Memory Computing and Spiking Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Memristors uniquely enable energy‐efficient, brain‐inspired computing by acting as both memory and synaptic elements. This review highlights their physical mechanisms, integration in crossbar arrays, and role in spiking neural networks. Key challenges, including variability, relaxation, and stochastic switching, are discussed, alongside emerging ...

(Poly)Borylated Species as Modern Reactive Groups toward Unusual Synthetic Applications

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
In this review, we spotlight recent breakthroughs in α‐polyboron‐substituted carbon‐centered intermediates (carbanion, carbocation, radical, and carbene) and polyborylated alkenes. By bridging fundamental reactivity with the application potential of these extraordinary species, we hope this review will serve as a roadmap for harnessing these unique ...

A Multimodal Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Flexible Sensor for Soft Robotic Hand Environmental Perception

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multimodal laser‐induced graphene (LIG)‐based flexible sensor is developed to detect proximity and contact signals. Integrated into a soft robotic hand, it enables vision‐free object searching and grasping. Combined with a convolutional neural network, the system achieves accurate material and texture recognition, enhancing the capability of ...

Mild Generation of Highly Nucleophilic N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Boryl Anion From Neutral sp2–sp3 Diboron Reagents and Its Applications in Nucleophilic Borylation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A less hindered and highly nucleophilic N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) boryl anion is generated at room temperature by reacting sp2–sp3 diboron reagent (NHC)BH2Bpin with KOtBu. This highly reactive anion demonstrates broad reactivity with various electrophiles, including those traditionally considered inert, enabling their efficient borylation.

Elected Oligarchy and Economic Underdevelopment: The Case of Guyana [PDF]

open access: yes
This study proposes the idea that Guyana’s present government can be categorized as an elected oligarchy. It highlights the existence of several binding constraints (or structural bottlenecks) and demonstrates how these constraints are exacerbated by the

Colonialism and Industrialization: Empirical Results [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
This paper presents theory and evidence to show that imperialism was a major factor impeding the spread of the industrial revolution during the century ending in the 1950s. Two empirical results stand out.

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Understanding Inequality Within a Personalised System of Disability Support: Australian Children With Disabilities' Unmet Support Needs

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disability support has shifted towards models of personalised care, which critics argue may contribute to increased inequalities. There is limited systematic evidence investigating inequalities in support among children with disabilities. To investigate inequalities in support, a survey of parents of children with disabilities aged 2–17 was ...
