A new paper titled “Proposal For Neuromorphic Hardware Using Spin Devices” put out by the researchers at the Circuits Research Lab at Intel and Purdue University shows promise in simulations for modeling bipolar spin neurons utilizing memristive cross-bar neural network (NN) architectures as synapses: [...] Emergence of programmable conductive elements, like TiO2 memristor and phase [...]
Memristors: They’ve been here all along! In the upcoming June issue of Nature, Leon Chua, Themistoklis Prodromakis, and Christofer Toumazou have written commentary on Memristors in history, titled: “Two Centuries of Memristors” [commentary abstract]. The commentary looks back at 200 years of materials and research to show evidence of memristive states as an observable phenomena [...]
A new paper out from Stanford University’s Dept. of Bioengineering details success in “demonstrat[ing] a Rewriteable Recombinase Addressable Data (RAD) module that reliably stores digital information within a chromosome.” [abstract]. The DNA bits use two proteins of bacteriophageal origin, an excisionase and integrase, to influence sections of DNA to point one direction or the other, [...]
A paper detailing new findings in silicon based ReRam memristors, particularly showing improved methods of substrate deposition, is out titled “Resistive switching in silicon suboxide films” [abstract]. A team at University College London has developed a silicon based Rram chip that demonstrates memristive behavior, and: [...] can be fabricated only from n- and p- type [...]
Panasonic Japan has a press release out detailing the availability of a microprocessor kit for evaluation that integrates a reram nonvolatile memory chip with a microcomputer. Are transputers back? Panasonic hopes to make the starter kits available for evaluation by May. They will “[...] make a direct connection to the USB port of your PC, [...]
Let the claims begin! Memory papers will be in abundance at this years IEEE Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits. IMEC (the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre out of Leuven, Belgium) has started it off with a summary of what will be presenting on hafnium oxide and other alternatives for formulation of ReRAM. One paper of interest [...]
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.
