Abstract

Abstract : Integrated Opto‐Electronics In‐memory computing mimics biological neurons by collocating the memory and processing unit. In article number 2200383, Harish Bhaskaran and co‐workers engineer a path to perform data‐storage and computations by electronically modulating the intensity of light. By defining plasmonic structures to confine optical power to a nanoscale volume and by employing active phase‐change materials, the authors demonstrate ultra‐low energy, non‐volatile switching with electrical and optical readout.
