Ionic Materials and Devices (IMD) is announcing a Call for Papers on the topic of “Ionic Devices for Neuromorphic Sensing, Memory, and Computing”.

Neuromorphic ionic devices—whose information carrier is the ion itself rather than the electron—have attracted emerging attention recently to achieve brain-inspired super-efficient computing. They emulate biological ion channels, synapses, and neurons through ion motion in solids, gels, or nanofluidic channels, creating low-voltage transistors, memristors, and artificial neurons that integrate sensing, memory, and computation in a single material for ultra-low-power, biocompatible, brain-inspired architectures.

We invite original research, comprehensive reviews, short communications, and forward-looking perspectives that exploit mobile ions inside solids, gels, and nanofluidics to emulate biological sensing, plasticity, and learning. We welcome contributions that merge solid-state physics, electrochemistry, nanofluidics, polymer science, and neuroscience to create energy-efficient, biocompatible, and scalable neuromorphic hardware.

Topics of Interest Include (but are not limited to):

• Ionic-gated transistors and synaptic devices
• Nanofluidic memristors and artificial neurons
• Hydrogel and ionic-gel devices for neuromorphic synapses, skin, and sensors
• Bioinspired nanofluidic membranes for ionic filtration, lithium extraction, blue energy harvesting
• Ionic devices arrays, circuits and system-level architectures for brain-inspired computing
• Fundamental mechanisms and in-situ characterization of ionic devices
