The Europeon Union have recently supported the creation of a project called VERSATILE which is focusing on the examination of crossbar architectures for the creation of non-volatile memory. Crossbar architectures have been applied to the creation of programmable logic devices in the past few decades but only recently have been proposed at the nanometer level by ...

Last week researchers at Hewlett-Packard indicated that their nanoscale crossbar arrays may see commercialization as early as next year in ultra high density non-volatile memory. While the initial research into nanoscale crossbar technology was performed by Stan Williams and Phil Kuekes in the late 1990's, the recent discovery of the "memristor" characterized as ...

Typically passive electronic components are divided into three categories - resistors, capacitors, and inductors. According to this recent article in EETimes, a fourth passive component referred to as a "Memristor" was discovered by Stanley Williams group at Hewlett Packard. The material for this new component is taught to be based ...
