The memristor is a two-terminal electronic device that relates magnetic flux and electric charge. It was first theorized in 1971 by Leon Chua but was not physically realized until 2008 by HP scientists led by R. Stanley Williams. Memristors are expected to revolutionize computing and data storage by enabling non-volatile memory, booting computers without memory, new approaches to logic and computing, and even artificial neural networks that mimic the human brain. While research is still ongoing, memristors promise to have as large an impact as the transistor but will require further engineering development and standardization before seeing widespread adoption.

Waiting for Leon Chua blossomed,
when scientists under the
leadership of
R . Stanley Williams
created the first memristor at
HP labs
The Memristor was created out
of TiO2 and TiO 2 -x

27. To conclude
It is sure that Memristor is going to revolutionaries the 21st
century as radically as the transistor in the 20th century
But Memristor will have to wait a few years for a
killer app like transistor which had to wait almost a decade
after it’s invention for the killer app in the form of hearing aids
Finally as Leon O Chua mentioned
It’s time to rewrite all the EE textbooks”
