Memristor

An array of 17 purpose-built oxygen-depleted titanium dioxide memristors built at HP Labs, imaged by an atomic force microscope. The wires are about 50 nm, or 150 atoms, wide.Electric current through the memristors shifts the oxygen vacancies, causing a gradual and persistent change in electrical resistance.
A memristor (”memory resistor“) is any of various kinds of [...]
