The authors have termed this device a "neuristor." As it currently stands, the NbO 2 neuristor uses too much power to put in large numbers on a chip.

A neuristor uses a relatively simple electronic circuit to generate spikes. Incoming signals charge a capacitor that is placed in parallel with a device called a memristor.

Others expect that massive memristor networks will enhance everything from laptops and phones, to mobile robots. But there is a huge fallacy lurking beneath these idle speculations.

First, the memristor has to preserve the quantum properties of a qubit (otherwise no further operations can be performed). Second, to set its own internal state, the memristor has to measure a ...

The memristor is a discovery, and memristive phenomena will become ubiquitous in nano-electronic circuits. If you understand the math behind memristors, you can create superior device models, such as ...

Andy Thomas constructed a memristor that is capable of learning. Andy and Bielefeld University researchers are now using his memristors as key components in a blueprint for an artificial brain.

Graphene-based memristor is ideal for artificial neural networks, say researchers According to Spagnolo, the team’s quantum memristor could open the way towards a whole new class of quantum devices.

Until fairly recently, the memristor, short for memory resistor, was a mythical electronic component. It had been predicted to exist by a mathematician, Leon Chua, a professor at UC Berkeley, in ...

The fundamental passive components of electronics are the resistor, the capacitor, the inductor, and the oscillator, right? Actually, no, oscillators aren’t considered fundamental components … ...

So not only does the memristor seem like a simple, effective and useful innovation that works in a reasonably clear way, it's within sight of the finishing line already. Lots more on this to come.

The team at HP Labs responsible for building the world’s first memristor in 2008 have discovered their creation has more capabilities than was previously thought. In addition to retaining a ...
