Memristors, Synapse on a Chip

Features: Current EventsPeople: RU SiriusFree Tagging: memristor

R.U. Sirius of HPlusMagazine published this huge and in depth article on memristors back in March. At a basic level memristors change their resistance. They comprimise a here-to-fore acedemic 'fourth foundational circuit element' such as capacitors, resistors, and inductors. Possible uses for the memristor and memristive technology include digital memory that does not require power, flexible chips, and neural computing. Apparently, a memristor behaves very similar to a synapse in the human brain. The memristor, somewhat like a synapse, will alter their response according to the frequency and strength of an applied signal.
