WHAT IS MEMRISTOR?
Fourth fundamental circuit element
Two terminal device
Passive device
Its resistance depends on the amount of charge passed through it
That’s why it is called “memristor”(memory resistor)
The beginning
Theory
Construction of TiO2 memristor
Working
An analogy
Applications
As a switch
As a non volatile memory
Can perform logic operations
In artificial neural networks
As a switch
As a memory unit
Logical operations
In artificial neural networks
POSSIBLE INVENTIONS UTILIZING MEMRISTORS TIME
1. memory for cameras, cell phones, iPods, iPads, etc. 1 to 5 years
2. universal memory replacing hard drives, RAM, flash, etc. in all computer devices 5 to 10 years
3. complex self learning neural networks and hybrid transistor/memristor circuits 5 to 15 years
4. memristic logic circuits on par with CPUs and other transistor circuits 15 to 20 years
5. advanced artificial thinking brains 20 to 30 years?
6. artificial conscious brains ?
7. memory and brains capable of living millions of years ?
8. artificial conscious beings capable of interstellar travel ?
