Advances in material science, micro/nano engineering, and biology have enabled a new generation of point-of-care biosensor devices that rival lab-based diagnostics while remaining portable for wearable or even implantable applications. Graphene, a 2D semiconductor, has gained significant attention as a sensing material due to its large surface area and exceptional electronic properties. These features support the binding of bio-recognition elements and enable signal transduction at the single-molecule level. Among various sensing platforms, graphene-based field-effect transistors (GFETs) stand out for their label-free, real-time detection and simple readout, making them ideal for wearable diagnostics. GFET biosensors hold transformative potential for personalized healthcare by detecting a broad range of biomarkers at ultra-low detection limits. This paper presents a concise overview of recent advancements in ultrasensitive GFET-based biomolecule sensing, with a focus on key factors governing the sensitivity, strategies for producing high-mobility graphene, device engineering, and emerging methods to push the limit of detection and specificity.

However, the symmetry constraints imposed by magnetic point groups and the electronic configuration conflicts in <jats:italic>d</jats:italic> orbitals between ferroelectricity and magnetism hinder the coexistence of ferroelectric and magnetic orders, leading to a scarcity of multiferroics. In this work, multiferroicity is achieved in the non‐ferroelectric magnet Calcium Manganate (CaMnO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>) through tensile‐strain engineering. The ferroelectricity with a Curie temperature up to 45 K is evidenced by the polarization‐electric field (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic>‐<jats:italic>E</jats:italic>) hysteresis loops, which also suggest that the spontaneous polarization aligns along [100] and [010] directions. Meanwhile, the magnetization below 125 K is confirmed by both the magnetization hysteresis loops and the temperature‐dependent magnetization measurements, providing compelling evidence for the multiferroic nature in the tensile‐strained CaMnO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> films. In addition, an abrupt increase in magnetization is found below 10K, indicating the establishment of a new ferromagnetic order due to the suppression of thermal fluctuations. These findings highlight strain engineering as a universal strategy to induce multiferroicity in non‐ferroelectric magnets.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145203087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, a novel Nitrogen-Spike Annealing (NSA) method is demonstrated, this nonequilibrium annealing process utilizes a transient high temperature to induce crystallization while reducing the overall thermal budget. During NSA, the O atoms are more intended to bond with Ga, resulting in a more rigid framework that stabilizes the O atoms. The crystal orientation of the NSA treated IGO film is more concentrated compared with the conventional equilibrium annealed one. Furthermore, poly-IGO thin-film transistors (TFTs) with high crystallinity and more centered crystal orientation are demonstrated through material characterization.

Neural networks utilizing memristor crossbar arrays as synaptic layers largely rely on this feature. However, the dynamical properties of memristors, such as the tailorable response times arising from the exponential voltage dependence of the resistive switching speed remain largely unexploited. Here, an information processing scheme which fundamentally relies on the latter is proposed. Simple dynamical memristor circuits capable of solving complex temporal information processing tasks are realized. A scheme is presented in which a single non‐volatile meristor and a series resistor can perform temporal pattern recognition tasks, such as the discrimination of sub‐threshold and super‐threshold voltage pulses, or the identification of neural spikes buried in high noise. By coupling to an oscillator circuit of a volatile Mott memristor, a complete neural circuit is realized that fires an output pulse upon signal detection and resets itself in a fully autonomous manner. Furthermore, a time series prediction circuit is implemented using a dynamic layer of only two memristors and a readout layer based on the linear combination of their output signals. This scheme can learn the operation of an external dynamical system and predict its output with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
