memristors

October 2, 2024 TDK has developed a "spin-memristor" with immunity to environmental influences and long-term data storage Collaborating with CEA, the “spin-memristor” has been demonstrated to function as the basic element of a…

How memristors retain information without a power source, known as nonvolatile memory, was little understood until now. Researchers have recently discovered that phase separation works alongside oxygen diffusion to help memristors retain…

Researchers, including University of Massachusetts Amherst engineers, demonstrated that their analog computing device, called a memristor, completes complex scientific computing tasks that bypass the limitations of digital computing. Yes,…

Coal, although abundant in the U.S., has a bad reputation based on its use as a fossil fuel. However, joint research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory,…

Researchers just developed a new synaptic transistor capable of higher-level thinking. Researchers at Northwestern University, Boston College, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) innovated a device that simultaneously…

Instead of tossing out devices when there's a new model, we could upgrade them with the latest sensors and processors that snap onto a device's internal chip — like LEGO bricks. Such reconfigurable chips could keep devices up to date and…

Our brains are more energy efficient than our computers, and scientists are one step closer to mimicking how our brains work. By combining storage and processing in a single component, a memristor, scientists hope to reduce the current…

Artificial intelligence, the disruptive technology behind autonomous vehicles, image recognition, search engines, spam filtering, and so much more, is extremely energy intensive. Training one AI model can generate 284 tonnes of carbon…

While memristors were conceived in 1971 as the fourth fundamental two-terminal circuit element, they weren’t actually designed until 2008.  Now, MIT engineers have designed a "brain-on-a-chip," smaller than a piece of confetti, that is…
