Fully Analog Resonant Recurrent Neural Network via Metacircuit

Physical neural networks offer a transformative route to edge intelligence, providing superior inference speed and energy efficiency compared to conventional digital architectures. However, realizing scalable, end-to-end, fully analog recurrent neural networks for temporal information processing remains challenging due to the difficulty of faithfully mapping trained network models onto physical hardware. Here we present a fully analog resonant recurrent neural network (R$^2$NN) implemented via a metacircuit architecture composed of coupled electrical local resonators. A reformulated mechanical-electrical analogy establishes a direct mapping between the R$^2$NN model and metacircuit elements, enabling accurate physical implementation of trained neural network parameters. By integrating jointly trainable global resistive coupling and local resonances, which generate effective frequency-dependent negative resistances, the architecture shapes an impedance landscape that steers currents along frequency-selective pathways. This mechanism enables direct extraction of discriminative spectral features, facilitating real-time temporal classification of raw analog inputs while bypassing analog-to-digital conversion. We demonstrate the cross-domain versatility of this framework using integrated hardware for tactile perception, speech recognition, and condition monitoring. This work establishes a scalable, fully analog paradigm for intelligent temporal processing and paves the way for low-latency, resource-efficient physical neural hardware for edge intelligence.

Scattering-coded elastic meta-boundary

Object localization through active elastic waves is a crucial technology, but generally requires a transducer array with complex hardware. Although computational sensing has been demonstrated to be able to overcome the short-comings of transducer array by merging artificially designed structures into sensing process, coding spatial elastic waves for active object identification is still a knowledge gap. Here we propose a scattering-coded elastic meta-boundary composed of randomly distributed scatterers for computational identification of objects with a single transducer. The multiple scattering effect of the meta-boundary introduces complexity into scattered fields to achieve a highly uncorrelated scattering coding of elastic waves, thereby eliminating the ambiguity of the object location information. We demonstrate that the locations of objects can be uniquely identified by using the scattering coding of our designed meta-boundary, delivering a design of meta-boundary touchscreen for human-machine interaction. The proposed scattering-coded meta-boundary opens up avenues for artificially designed boundaries with the capability of information coding and identification, and may provide important applications in wave sensing, such as structural monitoring, underwater detection, indoor localization, and biomedical imaging.
