Constructing artificial neurons with functional parameters comprehensively matching biological values
The constituent bio-amplitude memristor
A biological neuron can be stimulated by injected excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) to raise its intracellular charge (Q), thus the membrane potential (Fig. 1a, top panel). The charge accumulation (

Diagnostic forecasting of battery degradation through contrastive learning
The proposed approach is to train a model to match a set of operational data associated with a specific degradation pathway with the corresponding simulated scenario. This allows both diagnosis of historic degradation and forecasting of the…
