Objective
Conventional computing struggles with energy use and scalability at the edge, where sensors must react in real time and power/latency budgets are tight. Existing neuromorphic hardware helps, but many platforms rely on rigid, high-impact fabrication that limits material choices, sustainability, and practical uptake in industry.
TetraNET addresses this by developing a reproducible, eco-friendly neuromorphic platform based on zinc-oxide tetrapod networks (ZnO TNs). The core outcome is TRL-3 in-sensor preprocessing—time-domain feature extraction performed inside the sensing substrate—enabling low-power, real-time operation and simpler downstream classifiers.
The work plan couples scalable ZnO TN synthesis/functionalisation and plasma-assisted interface control (WP1), comprehensive structural/electronic characterisation and ISO-aligned life-cycle assessment (WP2), multi-scale modelling and operating maps linking materials to device behaviour (WP3), and prototype integration and validation (WP4). WP5 delivers staff exchanges, training, and open science (protocols, datasets, code with DOIs); WP6 ensures effective coordination and risk management.
Relevance and uptake are illustrated by two near-term paths: industrial UV processing (e.g. UV printing & packaging, food and beverage sanitation, 3D-printing/UV-curing, medical-device sterilisation) and VOC/ozone pre-screening for cleanrooms and facilities. As an MSCA Staff Exchanges action, TetraNET advances knowledge transfer, researcher skills, open science, and sustainable electronics in line with the work programme.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
