Cover Story: Inkjet-printed circuits on flexible substrates are gaining attraction in the electronics industry, due to their low-cost, eco-friendly, and simplified fabrication process. Recent advancements have expanded their potential in both sensing and computing applications. Building on these developments, this work introduces a novel inkjet-printed nonlinear computational element, mTanh, designed to function as an activation function in neural networks. While mTanh resembles the shape of the traditional tanh function, it overcomes a key limitation vanishing gradient problem, commonly observed in tanh and sigmoid functions within deep neural networks. This property positions mTanh as a promising activation function for future hardware implementation of deep neural networks in flexible electronics. View this paper
