In the new research, Yang combined two types of memristors in series to create an artificial synapse. (frogheart.ca)
Memristor researchers like Lu and his colleagues had theorized that the metal atoms in memristors moved, but previous results had yielded different shaped filaments and so they thought they hadn't nailed down the underlying process. (frogheart.ca)
The intersections between the sets of wires are known as memristors, a new circuit element that can store information even after the current is turned off. (discovermagazine.com)
