Eveline’s and Gianmaria’s paper was published in Nature Communications! In this work Eveline, Gianmaria and co-authors developed a modular spiking circuit that is able to encode light input into spikes that are further modulated by chemical synapses which are tuned by the amount of neurotransmitter available. With this work we Read more…
A new perspective on bio-inspired computing with soft matter has been published in Nature Reviews Materials.

In a series of 2 papers published in Advanced Materials and Advanced Functional Materials, Yanxi Zhang, Eveline van Doremaele and a range of collaborators both inside TU/e and out, have demonstrated a novel NDI-based polymer with outstanding properties. We investigated the role of ethylene glycol side chains to optimise its Read more…
In a collaborative effort between ICMS and Max Planck Institute, together with Stanford, Oxford and more, Imke’s work show how we can train a robot to find its way through a maze using a polymer circuit. We equipped a toy robot with a smart and adaptive electrical circuit made of soft Read more…
MRS Bulletin’s August issue was guest edited by Alberto Salleo and George Malliaras and features papers on organic neuromorphic devices and applications. Find this issue here and find the tutorial paper by Paschalis and Yoeri here. A webinar was also held to discuss the recent works, hosted by George Malliaras Read more…
This work describes a novel device that connect living cells with organic neuromorphic materials. We were able to demonstrate a memory effect based on the neurotransmitter dopamine released by cells. The research was done in collaboration with IIT Italy (group of Francesca Santoro) and Stanford University (group of Alberto Salleo). Read more…
