In the past, electronic circuit theory has revolved around three fundamental components: the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor. Now a fourth has been added to that list, the memristor.

Memristors, a type of circuit element based on magnetic ... full set of logic operations can be performed using a combination of NAND (not-and) gates. The new work demonstrates that it's possible ...

Memristors would be a single device element and not several transistors and capacitors (less silicon, denser circuits and less ... required to run the system. Memristor-based computers wouldn’t ...

“The fabrication of integrated circuits ... are not up-scalable for wafer-level fabrication, and their application could achieve only simple functionalities such as logic gates. Here, we present the ...

By connecting two of these devices, the researchers created the first logic circuit based on nanofluidic components. The new memristor could prove useful for neuromorphic computing, which tries to ...
