Memristor Symposium

Monday, November 17th, 2008

The memristor was listed by TIME magazine as one of the top inventions of 2008 and could revolutionize non-volatile memory by replacing transistor based memory cells with a new type of nanoscale resistance switch. In addition, there has been some speculation that the memristor may be a key ingredient to a ...

HP plans nanoscale RRAM by 2009

Monday, July 14th, 2008

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 ...

Who discovered the Memristor?

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Last week several news sources including the New York Times and CBS News, as well as various popular science journals including Scientific American and EETimes, reported on the May 1 publication in Nature by Hewlett Packard scientists describing the discovery of the "memristor", a fourth fundamental circuit element after the ...

Memristors set to revolutionize nanoelectronics

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

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 ...
