The Palo Alto, Calif., technology giant has been working for more than a decade to perfect microscopic components that it calls memristors, short for memory resistors. ❋ Unknown (2010)
He had originally broached the idea of memristors by using a series of equations showing that in addition to the three known circuitry elements -- the capacitor, the resistor and the inductor -- there had to be another with the property of memory. ❋ Unknown (2008)
HP Labs discovered that so-called memristors can also perform computations on memory chips, which could transform the capabilities of computers and personal electronics devices. ❋ Unknown (2010)
H.P. Says New Device Could Transform Chip-Making - So-called memristors could replace today's transistors and lead to a new class of computing devices, Hewlett-P.ckard scientists say. ❋ Unknown (2010)
HP and the Rice scientists are making what are called memristors, or memory resistors, switches that retain information without a source of power. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The devices, known as memristors, or memory resistors, were conceived in 1971 by Leon O. Chua, an electrical engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, but they were not put into effect until 2008 at the H.P. lab here. ❋ Revere [email protected] (2010)
So-called memristors could replace today's transistors and lead to a new class of computing devices, Hewlett-Packard scientists say. ❋ Seth Rosenblatt (2010)
Williams has called memristors the fourth basic circuit in electrical engineering, the others being the resistor, capacitor and inductor. ❋ Unknown (2010)
For example, scientists have made significant advances in emulating the behavior of neurons in the brain using "memristors" or nano chips this was in seeking to emulate the workings of a cat's brain. ❋ Unknown (2010)
* The impact of even more futuristic technologies, such as memristors, nanowires and organic LEDS. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The researchers previously reported in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that they had devised a new method for storing and retrieving information from a vast three-dimensional array of memristors. ❋ Unknown (2010)
“Our brains are made of memristors,” he said, referring to the function of biological synapses. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The most advanced transistor technology today is based on minimum feature sizes of 30 to 40 nanometers — by contrast a biological virus is typically about 100 nanometers — and Dr. Williams said that H.P. now has working 3-nanometer memristors that can switch on and off in about a nanosecond, or a billionth of a second. ❋ Unknown (2010)
