Self-Programming Hybrid Memristor/Transistor Circuit Could Continue Moore's Law

(PhysOrg.com) -- As researchers strive to increase the density and functionality of circuit elements onto computer chips, one newer option they have is a memory resistor (or “memristor”), the fourth passive circuit element. First predicted to exist in 1971 and fabricated in 2008, memristors are two-terminal devices that change their resistance in response to the total amount of current flowing through them.
