Definitions
Wiktionary
- n. physics A passive electrical element in which the electrical resistance is proportional to the integral of the electrical current between the terminals.
Examples
“The memristor is now deemed the future of computer memory because of its odd behavior: The more electricity you run through it, the more its electrical resistance increases.”
“Semiconductor companies have spent billions investing in memristor-free chip designs, and it may not be easy to get them to change, he says.”
“HP Labs researchers have discovered that the "memristor" - a resistor with memory that represents the fourth basic circuit element in electrical engineering - has more capabilities than was previously thought.”
“The concept of a "memristor" -- the name is a portmanteau of "memory" and "transistor" -- has been around since 1971, when it was described in a paper by UC Berkeley professor Leon Chua.”
“The microscopic device, called a memristor, could one day lead to PCs ...”
“The new component is called a memristor, or memory resistor.”
“The microscopic device, called a memristor, could one day lead to PCs that don't need to boot up and music players with more memory and battery life.”
“They will be hybrids, three-dimensional systems in which lower-level circuits will be based on a nanoelectronic technology called the memristor, which Hewlett-Packard is developing to store data.”
“Researchers at HP Labs have proven the existence of a fourth fundamental circuit element in electrical engineering called the memristor -- short for memory resistor.”
“It seems the so-called memristor can behave uncannily like the junctions between neurons in the brain.”

avivamagnolia The four passive components of electronics are the resistor, capacitor, inductor and the memristor, which was discovered only a few months ago. Memristors (from memory-resistors, geddit?) are resistors whose resistance depends on their past. In that sense they remember the past or, as an electronics engineer might put it, they store information. From the article:
