Summary: A specifically designed molecule functions as a digital full adder on a gold surface, with 3 inputs and 2 outputs. By interacting with aluminum atoms, classical digits are converted to quantum information, eliminating the need for a solid-state digital full adder cascade-like architecture. The results are influenced by quantum level repulsion and nonlinear magnetic effects intrinsic to the molecule.

Summary: This paper proposes a new synthesis method for implication logic circuits based on memristors by revisiting Boole's expansion theorem. The method optimizes the operation sequence and reduces the number of memristors, while leveraging well-established logic circuit optimization methods. It outperforms existing approaches and allows for a fair comparison between CMOS and implication logic implementations under the same level of optimization, with possible device-circuit co-design strategies discussed for optimizing circuit performance.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of photonic in-memory computing by using a tantalum pentoxide-based memristor as a non-volatile memory. The controllable transition from write-once-read-many-times (WORM) memory to resistive random-access memory (RRAM) is achieved by changing the depositional sequence. In situ photonic Boolean logic operations (AND/OR) are achieved in the RRAM device by combining light and electric signals, showing superior photonic in-memory computing potential.

Summary: Approximate synthesis is a recent trend in logic synthesis that aims to reduce the complexity of the final implementation by changing some outputs within the error tolerance. We propose two algorithms to maximize the regularity of specified Boolean functions, targeting symmetry and D-reducibility. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of our approaches.

Summary: An alternative approach to charge-based electronics is to use the spin degree of freedom for information communication and processing. Graphene, with its long spin-diffusion length at room temperature, shows promise for highly scalable spintronics. The development of graphene spin valves has paved the way for spin devices in graphene, such as spin field-effect transistors and spin majority logic gates. This review examines the progress in graphene spin valves and their role in advancing spin logic devices, discussing different transport mechanisms and comparing the energy efficiency between graphene spin valves and charge-based field-effect transistors.
