Semiconductor whose resistance varies as a function of flux and charge. Memristor is the combination of Memory + Resistor. Memristor will change circuit design in the 21st century. Finally as Leon O Chua mentioned that “It’s time to rewrite all the EE textbooks”

5.  Leon Chua proposed the existence of memristor in 1971
 In 2008 a team lead by Stanley Williams created the first memristor

9.  Would allow for a quicker boot up since information is not lost
when the device is turned off.
 Uses less energy and produces less heat.
 Eliminates the need to write computer programs that replicate small
parts of the brain.
 Density allows for more information to be stored.

10.  Conventional devices use only 0 and 1; Memristor can use
anything between 0 and 1.
 Faster than Flash memory.
• Allow digital cameras to take pictures with no delay in
between.
 Innovating nanotechnology due to the fact that it performs better
the smaller it becomes.

11.  Memristor will change circuit design in the 21st century
