Interdisciplinary research broadens the view of particular problems yielding fresh and possibly unexpected insights. This is the case of neuromorphic engineering where technology and neuroscience ...

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. First ...

Since the 1970s, electronic engineers have known that there are four fundamental building blocks of electronic circuits: resistors, capacitors, inductors and memristors (essentially variable resistors ...

As all popular electronics textbooks will verify, any passive circuit can be created with a combination of just three standard components: a resistor, which opposes charge flow; an inductor, which ...

The mathematical foundations of electronics predict the existence of four fundamental electronic devices. The resistor, capacitor and inductor are well known. The fourth device, the memristor, was ...

HP on Thursday announced that its research arm, HP Labs, has discovered that the “memristor” — a resistor with memory — can perform logic. A circuit with 17 memristors This could let data storage ...

A garish yellow slime that grows on rotten leaves and logs could one day form the brains behind living computers. The feeding fronds of the slime mould Physarum polycephalum turn out to have memory ...
