What is Memristor?
a memristor is the fourth passive element in the electric circuit joining the resistor,inductor and capacitor , the word memristor is the concatenation of "memory" and "resistance"
How does a memristor work?
A memristor is a two-terminal electronic device that can change its resistance based on the history of the applied voltage. This means the device "remembers" its resistance state, making it suitable for non-volatile memory applications. The resistance of a memristor can be adjusted by applying different voltage levels, allowing for storage and retrieval of information.
What is a passive element in a circuit?
A passive element is an element of the electrical circuit that does not create power, like a capacitor, an inductance, a resistor or a memristor.
Is Mimzy real?
No, the movie was all made up. While the movie may have been fiction, there are new and exciting electronic devices called "memristors" These may one day replace transistors and many believe they will advance artificial intelligence significantly. It's conceivable that the name "memristor" could be shortened to "memzy" or "mimzy" as a nickname. I personally believe the writers intended this since this emerging technology has been talked about for some time before it was actually made real.
Can memristors go beyond binary?
Yes, in principle. Memristors have a resistance that depends on the last voltage applied to them. So, in using them as binary 1's and 0's, one would simply apply a very high or very low voltage to achieve a very high or very low resistance...which is subsequently interpreted as a 1 or 0. If noise in the system is sufficiently small, one could subdivide the range of achievable resistances into multiple levels...say, for instance, low, medium and high resistance that could be interpreted as a 0, 1 or 2. As noise is reduced, the number states that can be accurately measured increases and thus the maximum value each memristors can store increases. Therefore, if noise is very low, one might be able to store 4 bits of data on a single memristor, the numbers 0 through 15. This concept can be further extended to even high precision as noise is reduced further. Note: Noise is a limiting factor in accurately reading and writing states. If there is a too much noise in the applied voltage, the resistance of the memristor could be incorrectly interpreted when read. Likewise, reading the state has noise associated with it as well. Both sources of noise would contribute to getting the wrong value.
