The mathematical modeling of memristors have started its bleedthru into other fields: arXiv.org is reporting in the Quantitative Biology & Cell Behavior a new paper titled Memristive model of amoeba’s learning, by authors Yuriy V. Pershin, Steven La Fontaine, and Massimiliano Di Ventra. Neural nets have been around a long time, even though seemingly of [...]
This story was pointed out by a reader with the caveat, “We do our own erasing. Who needs the scientists?” Its so off-topic as to be off-color, and doesnt relate to Memory but to Memories, but its just too interesting to pass up, and humor is important lately (read: financial meltdown, credit default derivatives, etc [...]
Dating from May 2008, this NPR story was done shortly after the discovery by Stan Williams and HP Labs of a memristive material. From the synopsis: “The possibility of such a circuit element, known as the “memristor,” was first described in 1971, but no one was able to find a device with the properties of [...]
Its being reported in the nytimes that Toshiba is buying 1 billion US of equipment from California-based SanDisk, in part helping to harden SanDisks baseline fundamentals against the takeover bid by Samsung. Samsung is currently ranked no. 1 in the memorychip maker market, while Toshiba holds the number 2 spot. SanDisk holds a variety of [...]
The well known Loebner Turing Test Prize contest for artificial intelligence is waiting for the selection of a winner as it wrapped up its 2008 contest with six finalists for the preliminary phase: Elbot [Fred Roberts], Eugene Goostman [Vladimir Veselov], Brother Jerome [Peter Cole & Benji Adams], Jabberwacky [Rollo Carpenter], Alice [Richard Wallace], and Ultra [...]
A busy couple of weeks in the memory technology sector: The Internet of Things gets industry boost from the IPSO Alliance : “We are bringing together companies across the globe with the objective of using IP to interconnect physical objects with the global Internet. Through our Technical Advisory Board we will document, demonstrate and teach [...]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
