The term Memtransistor, a portmanteau of memristor and transistor, (and no relation to MEMS transistors), is generally used to describe a class of proposed and experimental hybrid memristor-transistors. In general it refers to multi terminal (two-terminal and greater) hybrid memristor-transistive devices and models which attempt to exhibit memristive switching effects. Models primarily look to leverage […]
Memristor related papers and abstracts from the 20th Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (May 16 – 18, 2010): Design considerations for variation tolerant multilevel CMOS/Nano memristor memory (Harika Manem, Garrett S. Rose, Xiaoli He, Wei Wang) examines, in part, unfolded crossbar memory noise margins and power consumption: “This work analyzes the design constraints for nanoscale […]
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 […]
The Memristive switch: “The team conducted its experiments by building a nanoscale memristor switch – at 50 nanometers by 50 nanometers, it is the world’s smallest – that contained a layer of titanium dioxide (a chemical commonly used in both sunscreen and white paint) between two nanowires. As its name implies, titanium dioxide typically comprises […]
What is a memristor? Memristors are basically a fourth class of electrical circuit, joining the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor, that exhibit their unique properties primarily at the nanoscale. Theoretically, Memristors, a concatenation of “memory resistors”, are a type of passive circuit elements that maintain a relationship between the time integrals of current and […]
The memristor abstract can be found [ here ]. HP Labs has finally created a working model of a Memristor. Kudos! Now full fledged research into the AI Memristor Brain can begin.
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.
