F Biomimetic peptide self-assembly for functional materials and novel applications
【Abstract】
Supramolecular assembly of metabolites produces novel materials with hierarchical structures, good biological properties, and unique physical properties. They are an essential biomimetic material, and self-assembly structures with excellent piezoelectric properties enable the study of the electromechanical coupling properties in biomaterials.
具有多层次有序结构、良好生物学特性和独特物理性质的代谢物自组装材料是一种重要的仿生材料，具有优异压电性质的自组装材料也为研究生物材料的机电特性提供了一种可能。
However, the randomly oriented piezoelectric domains adversely affect the performance of piezoelectric biomaterials, and uniform polarization is needed for the material to show a macroscopic piezoelectric effect and to improve the performance of a piezoelectric device. We combine theoretical calculations and experimental studies to synthesize piezoelectric biomaterials based on amino acid and peptide self-assembly.
随机取向的电畴无法极化严重影响了压电生物材料的性能，而压电材料需要有取向一致的电畴才具有优异的宏观压电性能并制备器件。我们结合理论计算和实验研究基于氨基酸和肽自组装合成许多压电生物材料。
We applied an electric field during the growth process to synthesize micron column arrays with controlled spontaneous polarization directions. We then studied the influence of the electric field on self-assembly. Our calculations showed that peptide-based piezoelectric materials outperform traditional piezoelectric ceramics in energy harvesting applications. We developed metabolite-based piezoelectric nanogenerators, composite nanogenerators, and flexible nanogenerators.
我们在生长过程中施加电场合成出自发极化方向和施加的电场方向一致的微米柱阵列，并进而研究了电场对自组装的影响规律。理论计算表明肽基压电材料比传统的压电陶瓷机电转换性能更优，于是我们研制了压电式纳米发电机、复合纳米发电机和柔性纳米发电机，并且揭示了肽基纳米发电机在不同溶液中的降解行为。
We also revealed the degradation behavior of peptide-based nanogenerators in different solutions. The research of peptide self-assembly materials has strongly promoted the discovery of environmentally friendly biomimetic functional materials and the advancement of new energy, advanced sensing, and other technologies, improving and enhancing peoples health and quality of life.
肽自组装材料的研究有力推动环境友好仿生功能材料的发现和新能源、先进传感等技术的进步，从而改善和提高人们的健康和生活质量。

Neuromorphic Silicon Photonics and Applications from Classical to Quantum
【Abstract】
Artificial intelligence (AI) powered by neural networks has enabled applications in many fields (medicine, finance, autonomous vehicles). Digital implementations of neural networks are limited in speed and energy efficiency. Neuromorphic photonics aims to build processors that use light and photonic device physics to mimic neurons and synapses in the brain for distributed and parallel processing while offering sub-nanosecond latencies and extending the domain of AI and neuromorphic computing applications.
由神经网络驱动的人工智能(AI)已经在许多领域(医疗、金融、自动驾驶汽车)获得了应用。神经网络的数字实现在速度和能源效率方面受到了限制。神经形态光子学旨在构建利用光和光子器件物理模拟大脑中的神经元和突触进行分布式和并行处理的处理器，同时提供亚纳秒的延迟，并扩展人工智能和神经形态计算应用的领域。
We will discuss photonic neural networks enabled by CMOS-compatible silicon photonics. We will highlight applications that require low latency and high bandwidth, including wideband radio-frequency signal processing, fiber-optic communications, and nonlinear programming (solving optimization problems). We will briefly introduce a quantum photonic neural network that can learn to act as near-perfect components of quantum technologies and discuss the role of weak nonlinearities.
我们将讨论由CMOS兼容硅光子赋能的光子神经网络。我们将重点介绍需要低延迟和高带宽的应用程序，包括宽带射频信号处理、光纤通信和非线性规划(解决优化问题)。我们将简要介绍一个量子光子神经网络，它可以学习成为量子技术的近乎完美的成分，并讨论弱非线性的作用。
