The Missing Circuit Element – The Memristor

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

I don’t pretend to be anything of an expert, or even very knowledgeable, in the area of electronics however it is something that interests me.  When I read the many science focused articles around the net I eventually find myself absorbing information about the world of the resistor, capacitor, inductor.  Recently one such time I found myself reading an extremely interesting article about a ‘missing’ area of electronics that only a decade ago was discovered and only recently gaining speed.  When I say missing I mean it in the way that many elements in the periodic table were missing in days past.  This missing circuit element is named the memristor (with the memcapacitor closely following).
