We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the outstanding speakers who contributed to our symposium Beyond Transistors: Material-Based Edge Computing Paradigms at the DPG Spring Meeting 2026 in Dresden. Jointly organized by Karin Everschor-Sitte, Atreya Majumdar, and Dennis Meier from the University of Duisburg-Essen, the symposium explored emerging material-driven approaches for future computing.
