Abstract
Bio-inspired transistor synapses use solid electrolytes to achieve low-power operation and rich synaptic behaviors via ion diffusion and trapping. While these neuromorphic devices hold great promise, they still suffer from challenges such as high leakage currents and power consumption, electrolysis risk, and irreversible conductance changes due to long-range ion migrations and permanent ion trapping. In addition, their response to light is generally limited because of "exciton-polaron quenching", which restricts their potential in in-sensor neuromorphic visions. To address these issues, we propose replacing solid electrolytes with polyzwitterions, where the cation and anion are covalently concatenated via a flexible alkyl chain, thus preventing long-range ion migrations while inducing good photoresponses to the transistors via interfacial charge trapping. Our detailed studies reveal that polyzwitterion-based transistors exhibit optoelectronic synaptic behavior with ultralow-power consumption (~250 aJ per spike) and enable high-performance in-sensor reservoir computing, achieving 95.56% accuracy in perceiving the trajectory of moving basketballs.

Abstract
Optical tractor beams, proposed in 2011 and experimentally demonstrated soon after, offer the ability to pull particles against light propagation. It has attracted much research and public interest. Yet, its limited microscopic-scale range severely restricts its applicability. The dilemma is that a long-range Bessel beam, the most accessible beam for optical traction, has a small half-cone angle, θ0, making pulling difficult. Here, by simultaneously using several novel and compatible mechanisms, including transverse isotropy, Snell's law, antireflection coatings (or impedance-matched metamaterials), and light interference, we overcome this dilemma and achieve long-range optical pulling at θ0 ≈ 1°. The range is estimated to be 14 cm when using ~1 W of laser power. Thus, macroscopic optical pulling can be realized in a medium or in a vacuum, with good tolerance of the half-cone angle and the frequency of the light.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate acoustic wave scattering by a large number of bubbles in a liquid at frequencies near the Minnaert resonance frequency. This bubbly media has been exploited in practice to obtain super-focusing of acoustic waves. Using layer potential techniques, we derive the scattering function for a single spherical bubble excited by an incident wave in the low frequency regime. We then propose a point scatterer approximation for N bubbles, and describe several numerical simulations based on this approximation, that demonstrate the possibility of achieving super-focusing using bubbly media.
