The long-term recording of neural activity could be used to understand complex behaviours and disorders. However, the development of technology capable of such measurements faces a variety of technical challenges, including the relative motion between recording electrodes and tissue and the excessive displaced volume from implanted electronics. Here we report a subnanolitre-volume tetherless optoelectronic microsystem for neural recording. The system relies on light for photovoltaic power and data transfer, through a light-emitting diode, eliminating the need for wires or other tethers. It uses a single AlGaAs diode as both photovoltaic and light-emitting diode. Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor circuits provide low-noise amplification, pulse-position-modulated encoding and electro-optical transduction. Two-dimensional materials processing techniques, vacuum annealing and atomic layer deposition, in conjunction with a standard complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor fabrication process, provide compact encapsulation against the corrosive conditions of biological media. We show that the subnanolitre neural implant is capable of chronic (365 days) in vivo recordings in awake mice. A neural implant with a subnanolitre-volume can provide year-long in vivo recordings in awake mice.

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces operating at microwave frequencies are of potential use in the development of the sixth generation of wireless communications technology. Such surfaces could, in particular, be used to reprogram the wireless propagation channels in controlled ways and thus provide low-cost wireless capacity boosting, coverage extension and enhanced energy efficiency. To reprogram the channel, each meta-atom of the reconfigurable intelligent surface needs to receive an external control signal, which is usually generated by a base station. However, this requires complicated control cables, which restricts wide deployment. Here we report a self-controlled reconfigurable intelligent surface that is inspired by optical holography. Each meta-atom of the reconfigurable intelligent surface is integrated with a power detector that can record a hologram created from simultaneous microwave illumination from the base station and the user. We use classical Fourier transform to process the measured hologram and retrieve the angular position of the user, which is required for beamforming. As a result, the approach can provide autonomous reconfigurable intelligent surface beamforming without control cables. By integrating power detectors into each of its meta-atoms, a reconfigurable intelligent surface can autonomously determine the location of a user from a microwave hologram formed by illumination from a base station and the user.
在微波频率下工作的可重构智能表面在第六代无线通信技术的发展中具有潜在的用途。特别是,这种表面可以用于以可控的方式重新编程无线传播信道,从而提供低成本的无线容量增加,覆盖范围扩大和提高能源效率。为了对通道进行重新编程,可重构智能表面的每个元原子需要接收外部控制信号,该信号通常由基站产生。然而,这需要复杂的控制电缆,这限制了广泛部署。在这里,我们报告了一种受光学全息启发的自我控制可重构智能表面。可重构智能表面的每个元原子都集成了一个功率探测器,该探测器可以记录来自基站和用户同时微波照射产生的全息图。我们使用经典的傅立叶变换对测量的全息图进行处理,检索出波束形成所需的用户的角度位置。因此,该方法可以在没有控制电缆的情况下提供自主可重构的智能表面波束形成。通过将功率探测器集成到每个元原子中,可重构的智能表面可以根据基站和用户照明形成的微波全息图自主确定用户的位置。

Soft electronic fibres are potential building blocks for a variety of emerging technologies including smart textiles and wearable health monitors. However, it remains a challenge to fabricate fibres that combine conductive and dielectric domains in complex architectures in a simple and scalable way. Here we show that a thermal drawing approach can be used to fabricate stretchable fibre-based sensors from liquid-metal-embedded elastomers. The material formulation and processing parameters can be controlled to create high aspect-ratio stretchable fibres that integrate high-conductivity (around 103 S cm−1) and high-dielectric ( $$kappa approx 13.5$$ ) domains across the fibre cross-section. We illustrate the versatility of our approach by creating an all-liquid-metal-based capacitive fibre sensor, which offers a gauge factor of 0.96, stretchability of 925% and high stability to cyclic deformation. We also integrate our fibre-based sensor into textiles and demonstrate an efficient smart knee brace. A thermal drawing method can be used to create stretchable electronic fibres from a liquid-metal-embedded elastomer that can contain conductive and insulating domains across the fibre cross-section.

Optical imaging offers a number of advantages over electrophysiology including cell-type specificity. However, its application has been limited to the investigation of shallow brain regions (less than 2 mm) because of the light scattering property of brain tissue. Passive optical conduits, such as graded-index lenses and waveguides, have permitted access to deeper locales but with restricted resolution and field of view, while creating massive lesions along the inserted path. Here we report an implantable complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor fluorescence imager with single-neuron resolution. The imager has a 512-pixel silicon image sensor post-processed into a 4.1-mm-long, 120-μm-wide shank with a collinear fibre for illumination. It can record transient fluorescent signals in deep brain regions at 400 frames per second. We show that the system can offer single-neuron resolution in functional imaging of GCaMP6s-expressing neurons at a frame rate of 400 frames per second.

光学成像提供了许多优于电生理学的优势,包括细胞类型特异性。然而,由于脑组织的光散射特性,它的应用仅限于对大脑浅区(小于2mm)的研究。无源光学导管,如分级折射率透镜和波导,可以进入更深的区域,但分辨率和视野有限,同时在插入路径上产生大量病变。在这里,我们报告了一种可植入的互补金属氧化物半导体荧光成像仪,具有单神经元分辨率。成像仪具有512像素的硅图像传感器,后处理成4.1 mm长,120 μm宽的柄,带有共线光纤用于照明。它可以以每秒400帧的速度记录大脑深部区域的瞬时荧光信号。我们表明,该系统可以以每秒400帧的帧速率提供表达gcamp6s的神经元的单神经元功能成像分辨率。互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)成像仪将512像素的硅图像传感器后处理成4.1 mm长、120 μm宽的柄,并用共线光纤照明,可用于以每秒400帧的速度记录大脑深部区域的瞬态荧光信号。

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are promising building blocks for advanced electronic devices. However, the fabrication of high-quality 2D semiconductor wafers with engineered layers remains a challenge. Here we describe a direct wafer bonding and debonding method that can be applied to semiconductor monolayers that have been grown epitaxially on high-adhesion substrates such as sapphire. The process operates in both vacuum and a glovebox environment and requires no intermediate-layer assistance. It produces stacked 2D semiconductors with clean interfaces and wafer-scale uniformity and allows precise control of layer numbers and the interlayer twist angle. We use the approach to create different homostructures and heterostructures with 2D monolayers, including molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2). We also show that the approach can directly bond monolayer MoS2 onto high-κ dielectric substrates (HfO2 and Al2O3) while preserving its intrinsic electronic properties. A bonding and debonding strategy is used to stack epitaxially grown semiconductor monolayers into various structures with precise control of the layer number and interlayer twist angle.
二维(2D)半导体是先进电子设备的重要组成部分。然而,制造高质量的具有工程层的二维半导体晶圆仍然是一个挑战。在这里,我们描述了一种直接晶圆键合和脱键的方法,这种方法可以应用于在高附着力衬底(如蓝宝石)上外延生长的半导体单层。该过程在真空和手套箱环境中操作,不需要中间层的协助。它生产的堆叠2D半导体具有干净的界面和晶圆级均匀性,并允许精确控制层数和层间扭转角。我们使用该方法在二维单层上创建了不同的同质结构和异质结构,包括二硫化钼(MoS2)和二硒化钼(MoSe2)。我们还表明,该方法可以直接将单层MoS2键合到高κ介电衬底(HfO2和Al2O3)上,同时保持其固有的电子特性。在精确控制层数和层间扭角的情况下,采用键合和脱键策略将外延生长的半导体单层堆叠成各种结构。

A bonding and debonding strategy is used to stack epitaxially grown semiconductor monolayers into various structures with precise control of the layer number and interlayer twist angle.","PeriodicalId":19064,"journal":{"name":"Nature Electronics","volume":"8 11","pages":"1038-1045"},"PeriodicalIF":40.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145381815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increasing occupation of space orbits by fleets of satellites has led to increasing generation of data in space. At the same time, the expansion of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) has led to an increasing number of energy-intensive data centres, which have large carbon footprints, back on Earth. The former calls for space-based computing solutions, whereas the latter calls for carbon-neutral computing solutions. Here we explore the potential of developing carbon-neutral data centres in space. Such an approach would be enabled by the sustainability features of space: abundant solar energy that can be captured with high-efficiency solar cells and a giant cold heat sink (deep space itself) that can spontaneously take in large amounts of waste heat released from computing. We outline a framework for orbital edge data centres, which would be equipped with data sensors and AI accelerators, for carbon-neutral data processing at source in space. We then outline a framework for orbital cloud data centres in the form of a constellation of computational satellites equipped with servers and broadband connectivity, for both in-space and ground-outsourced computing applications. We also provide a method to evaluate the lifecycle carbon usage effectiveness of these cloud data centres. This Perspective explores the potential of developing carbon-neutral data centres in space, providing frameworks for orbital edge data centres, which would be equipped with data sensors and AI accelerators, and orbital cloud data centres, which would be based on constellations of computational satellites equipped with servers and broadband connectivity.
由于卫星编队越来越多地占用空间轨道,导致在空间产生越来越多的数据。与此同时,人工智能(AI)等技术的发展导致地球上能源密集型数据中心的数量不断增加,这些数据中心的碳足迹很大。前者需要基于空间的计算解决方案,而后者需要碳中性的计算解决方案。在这里,我们探讨在太空中发展碳中和数据中心的潜力。这种方法可以通过太空的可持续性特性实现:可以利用高效太阳能电池捕获丰富的太阳能,以及一个巨大的冷散热器(深空本身),可以自发地吸收从计算中释放的大量废热。我们概述了轨道边缘数据中心的框架,该数据中心将配备数据传感器和人工智能加速器,用于在空间源头进行碳中性数据处理。然后,我们概述了轨道云数据中心的框架,其形式是配备服务器和宽带连接的计算卫星星座,用于空间和地面外包计算应用。我们还提供了一种方法来评估这些云数据中心的生命周期碳使用效率。本展望探讨了在空间发展碳中性数据中心的潜力,为轨道边缘数据中心和轨道云数据中心提供了框架,前者将配备数据传感器和人工智能加速器,后者将基于配备服务器和宽带连接的计算卫星群。
