Conception of a Smart Artificial Retina Based on a Dual-Mode Organic Sensing Inverter.

ABSTRACT: The human visual system enables perceiving, learning, remembering, and recognizing elementary visual information (light, colors, and images), which has inspired the development of biomimicry visual system-based electronic devices. Photosensing and synaptic devices are integrated into these systems to realize elementary information storage and recognition to imitate image processing. However, the severe restrictions of the monotonic light response and complicated circuitry design remain challenges for the development of artificial visual devices. Here, the concept of a smart artificial retina based on an organic optical sensing inverter device that can be operated as a multiwavelength photodetector and recorder is reported first. The device exhibits a light-triggered broadband (red/green/blue) response, a low energy consumption as low as ±5 V, and an ultrafast response speed (<300 ms). Moreover, the multifunctional component is also combined within a single cell for health monitoring of the artificial retina during light surveillance to avoid retinopathy. Proof-of-concept devices, by simplifying the circuitry and providing dual-mode functions, can contribute significantly to the development of bionics design and broaden the horizon for smart artificial retinas in the human visual system.

Retina-Inspired Organic Heterojunction-Based Optoelectronic Synapses for Artificial Visual Systems.

Project description:For the realization of retina-inspired neuromorphic visual systems which simulate basic functions of human visual systems, optoelectronic synapses capable of combining perceiving, processing, and memorizing in a single device have attracted immense interests. Here, optoelectronic synaptic transistors based on tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium (Ir(ppy)3) and poly(3,3-didodecylquarterthiophene) (PQT-12) heterojunction structure are presented. The organic heterojunction serves as a basis for distinctive synaptic characteristics under different wavelengths of light. Furthermore, synaptic transistor arrays are fabricated to demonstrate their optical perception efficiency and color recognition capability under multiple illuminating conditions. The wavelength-tunability of synaptic behaviors further enables the mimicry of mood-modulated visual learning and memorizing processes of humans. More significantly, the computational dynamics of neurons of synaptic outputs including associated learning and optical logic functions can be successfully demonstrated on the presented devices. This work may locate the stage for future studies on optoelectronic synaptic devices toward the implementation of artificial visual systems.

Smart Surgical Catheter for C-Reactive Protein Sensing Based on an Imperceptible Organic Transistor.

Project description:Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs)-based sensors have a great potential to be integrated with the next generation smart surgical tools for monitoring different real-time signals during surgery. However, allowing ultraflexible OFETs to have compatibility with standard medical sterilization procedures remains challenging. A novel capsule-like OFET structure is demonstrated by utilizing the fluoropolymer CYTOP to serve both encapsulation and peeling-off enhancement purposes. By adapting a thermally stable organic semiconductor, 2,10-diphenylbis[1]benzothieno[2,3-d;2',3'-d']naphtho[2,3-b;6,7-b']dithiophene (DPh-BBTNDT), these devices show excellent stability in their electrical performance after sterilizing under boiling water and 100 °C-saturated steam for 30 min. The ultrathin thickness (630 nm) enables the device to have superb mechanical flexibility with smallest bending radius down to 1.5 µm, which is essential for application on the highly tortuous medical catheter inside the human body. By immobilizing anti-human C-reactive protein (CRP) (an inflammation biomarker) monoclonal antibody on an extended gate of the OFET, a sensitivity for detecting CRP antigen down to 1 µg mL-1 can be achieved. An ecofriendly water floatation method realized by employing the wettability difference between CYTOP and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) can be used to transfer the device on a ventricular catheter, which successfully distinguishes an inflammatory patient from a healthy one.

Near-infrared and visible light dual-mode organic photodetectors.

Project description:We report a dual-mode organic photodetector (OPD) that has a trilayer visible light absorber/optical spacer/near-infrared (NIR) light absorber configuration. In the presence of NIR light, photocurrent is produced in the NIR light-absorbing layer due to the trap-assisted charge injection at the organic/cathode interface at a reverse bias. In the presence of visible light, photocurrent is produced in the visible light-absorbing layer, enabled by the trap-assisted charge injection at the anode/organic interface at a forward bias. A high responsivity of >10 A/W is obtained in both short and long wavelengths. The dual-mode OPD exhibits an NIR light response operated at a reverse bias and a visible light response operated at a forward bias, with a high specific detectivity of ~1013 Jones in both NIR and visible light ranges. A bias-switchable spectral response OPD offers an attractive option for applications in environmental pollution detection, bioimaging process, wellness, and security monitoring in two distinct bands.

Dual Action Calcium-Sensing Receptor Modulator Unmasks Novel Mode-Switching Mechanism.

Project description:Negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of the human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) have previously failed to show efficacy in human osteoporosis clinical trials, but there is now significant interest in repurposing these drugs for hypocalcemic disorders and inflammatory lung diseases. However, little is known about how CaSR NAMs inhibit the response to endogenous activators. An improved understanding of CaSR negative allosteric modulation may afford the opportunity to develop therapeutically superior CaSR-targeting drugs. In an attempt to elucidate the mechanistic and structural basis of allosteric modulation mediated by the previously reported NAM, calhex231, we herein demonstrate that calhex231 actually potentiates or inhibits the activity of multiple CaSR agonists depending on whether it occupies one or both protomers in a CaSR dimer. These findings reveal a novel mechanism of mode-switching at a Class C G protein-coupled receptor that has implications for drug discovery and potential clinical utility.

Dual-color single-mode lasing in axially coupled organic nanowire resonators.

Project description:Miniaturized lasers with multicolor output and high spectral purity are of crucial importance for yielding more compact and more versatile photonic devices. However, multicolor lasers usually operate in multimode, which largely restricts their practical applications due to the lack of an effective mode selection mechanism that is simultaneously applicable to multiple wavebands. We propose a mutual mode selection strategy to realize dual-color single-mode lasing in axially coupled cavities constructed from two distinct organic self-assembled single-crystal nanowires. The unique mode selection mechanism in the heterogeneously coupled nanowires was elucidated experimentally and theoretically. With each individual nanowire functioning as both the laser source and the mode filter for the other nanowire, dual-color single-mode lasing was successfully achieved in the axially coupled heterogeneous nanowire resonators. Furthermore, the heterogeneously coupled resonators provided multiple nanoscale output ports for delivering coherent signals with different colors, which could greatly contribute to increasing the integration level of functional photonic devices. These results advance the fundamental understanding of the lasing modulation in coupled cavity systems and offer a promising route to building multifunctional nanoscale lasers for high-level practical photonic integrations.

Back-scatter based whispering gallery mode sensing.

Project description:Whispering gallery mode biosensors allow selective unlabelled detection of single proteins and, combined with quantum limited sensitivity, the possibility for noninvasive real-time observation of motor molecule motion. However, to date technical noise sources, most particularly low frequency laser noise, have constrained such applications. Here we introduce a new technique for whispering gallery mode sensing based on direct detection of back-scattered light. This experimentally straightforward technique is immune to frequency noise in principle, and further, acts to suppress thermorefractive noise. We demonstrate 27 dB of frequency noise suppression, eliminating frequency noise as a source of sensitivity degradation and allowing an absolute frequency shift sensitivity of 76 kHz. Our results open a new pathway towards single molecule biophysics experiments and ultrasensitive biosensors.

Ringing phenomenon based whispering-gallery-mode sensing.

Project description:Highly sensitive sensing is one of the most important applications of whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microresonators, which is usually accomplished through a tunable continuous-wave laser sweeping over a whispering-gallery mode with the help of a fiber taper in a relative slow speed. It is known that if a tunable continuous-wave laser sweeps over a high quality whispering-gallery mode in a fast speed, a ringing phenomenon will be observed. The ringing phenomenon in WGM microresonators is mainly used to measure the Q factors and mode-coupling strengths. Here we experimentally demonstrate that the WGM sensing can be achieved based on the ringing phenomenon. This kind of sensing is accomplished in a much shorter time and is immune to the noise caused by the laser wavelength drift.

Artificial Shape Perception Retina Network Based on Tunable Memristive Neurons.

Project description:Retina shows an extremely high signal processing efficiency because of its specific signal processing strategy which called computing in sensor. In retina, photoreceptor cells encode light signals into spikes and ganglion cells finish the shape perception process. In order to realize the neuromorphic vision sensor, the one-transistor-one-memristor (1T1M) structure which formed by one memristor and one MOSFET in serial is used to construct photoreceptor cell and ganglion cell. The voltage changes between two terminals of memristor and MOSFET can mimic the changes of membrane potential caused by spikes and illumination respectively. In this paper, the tunable memristive neurons with 1T1M structures are built. According to the concept of receptive field of ganglion cells (GCs) in the retina, the artificial shape perception retina network is constructed with these memristive neurons. The final results show that the artificial retina can extract shape information from the image and transfer it into spike frequency realizing the function of computing in sensor.

Smart Contact Lens with Dual-Sensing Platform for Monitoring Intraocular Pressure and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9.

Project description:Contact lenses have become a popular health-monitoring wearable device due to their direct contact with the eyes. By integrating biosensors into contact lenses, real-time and noninvasive diagnoses of various diseases can be realized. However, current contact lens sensors often require complex electronics, which may obstruct the user's vision or even damage the cornea. Moreover, most of the reported contact lens sensors can only detect one analyte. Therefore, an optical-based dual-functional smart contact lens sensor has been introduced to monitor intraocular pressure (IOP) and detect matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), both of which are key biomarkers in many eye-related diseases such as glaucoma. Specifically, the elevated IOP is continuously monitored by applying an antiopal structure through color changes, without any complex electronics. Together with the peptide modified gold nanobowls (AuNBs) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate, the quantitative analysis of MMP-9 at a low nanomolar range is achieved in real tear samples. The dual-sensing functions are thus demonstrated, providing a convenient, noninvasive, and potentially multifunctional sensing platform for monitoring health and diagnostic biomarkers in human tears.
