Memristors would Enable On-Chip Memory, Processing, Instant-ON PCs

Tarandeep Singh

The researchers at HP have developed a new way to perform logic Operations, making it possible to fabricate much more advanced chips that would use memory devices in place of standard transistors. As per the research, an array of memristors (150 atoms wide) can perform both logic and storage operations. The memristor is a device as fundamental as the resistor, inductor and capacitor, but is based on the relationship between flux and charge, rather than between voltage and charge.
