Mesh networking components such as zigbee radios amongst others seem to enjoy a certain popularity amongst open source hardware advocates, even though they are often criticized for being hobbyist technology. The recent use mesh networks for the OLPC and third world low cost connectivity though has been an interesting sweet-spot in the deployment of the […]
The Riemann hypothesis, one of the millennium prizes offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute, has had a long and varied history attempts upon it: the conjectures really boil down to assessing how close the current approximation of n / ln n primes less than a given number the solution truly is. So it ends up […]
The recent news from HP labs has created a stir amongst indie reporters in the blogosphere. Popularizing science is always a double edged sword but there are some interesting responses. Over at Make, the ultrahip DIY electronics resource for hobbyists, they wonder when they will be in stock. Slashdot seems to go off on the […]
UPDATE: (April 2010) Science has spoken: two years after this post was written, a paper in Nano Letters will “[demonstrate] that this system is capable of a memory and learning process called spike timing dependent plasticity.” The memristor brain proof-of-concept awaits the slow approach from paper to prototype fabrication. Old Post: From todays HP Lab […]
What is a memristor? Memristors are basically a fourth class of electrical circuit, joining the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor, that exhibit their unique properties primarily at the nanoscale. Theoretically, Memristors, a concatenation of “memory resistors”, are a type of passive circuit elements that maintain a relationship between the time integrals of current and […]
The memristor abstract can be found [ here ]. HP Labs has finally created a working model of a Memristor. Kudos! Now full fledged research into the AI Memristor Brain can begin.
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
