Machine learning hardware accelerator for single-event-latchup (SEL) and micro-SEL detection in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems by Liao, Chenqing

“…Among the various radiation effects, the single-event-latchup (SEL) is of the most concern – it is catastrophic to semiconductor devices when it occurs. In addition, the micro-SEL, a low-current SEL phenomenon, may also occur, where the induced current is lower than an SEL – therefore more difficult to detect, potentially compromising device reliability and lifespan. …”

Single Zn atoms with acetate-anion-enabled asymmetric coordination for efficient H2O2 photosynthesis by Li, Yunxiang, Guo, Yan, Fan, Guilan, Luan, Deyan, Gu, Xiaojun, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…Specifically, the O atom from acetate (OAc) anion participates in the coordination of single-Zn sites on CN, forming asymmetric Zn-N3 O moiety on CN (denoted as CN/Zn-OAc), in contrast to the obtained Zn-N4 sites when sulfate (SO4 ) is adopted (CN/Zn-SO4 ). Both experimental and theoretical investigations demonstrate that the Zn-N3 O moiety exhibits higher intrinsic activity for O2 reduction to H2 O2 than the Zn-N4 moiety. …”
