THE AI ANGLE
Classifying cardiac signals on a physical reservoir device

Researchers treated the contacts of a planar molybdenum disulfide transistor with a chemical solution to produce synaptic switching. Interfacial charge trapping alters the Schottky barrier height while leaving the channel material intact. This allows a single component to process temporal data directly through reservoir computing.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Students can examine whether contact-controlled barrier modulation can match the endurance and reliability of conventional bulk-switching devices during manufacturing.
