Transistor‐Level Activation Functions via Two‐Gate Designs: From Analog Sigmoid and Gaussian Control to Real‐Time Hardware Demonstrations (Adv. Mater. 21/2026)
Transistor-Level Activation Functions via Two-Gate Designs In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202511018), Hocheon Yoo, Young-Joon Kim, Wonjun Shin, and colleagues demonstrate real-time iris classification enabled by two-gate analog transistors with intrinsic Gaussian and sigmoid activation functions. These devices perform activation function-based computing and analog feature extraction, enabling immediate hardware-level inference.
