Leon Chua speaks at the LaSalle Research Group in Intelligent Systems, Dec. 12 2008. The audio is a little garbled and the retro-analog style overhead projector, common amongst mathematicians, but its a great prespective on seminal work.
arXiv.org is reporting in their Condensed Matter > Strongly Correlated Electrons taxonomy a new paper out of UCSD demonstrating phase-transition driven memristive systems using thin-film vanadium dioxides: Here, we demonstrate memristive response in a thin film of Vanadium Dioxide. This behavior is driven by the insulator-to-metal phase transition typical of this oxide. We discuss several […]
Shortly on the heels of Toshiba’s propping up of SanDisk to gain some leverage in the SSD market against giant Samsung, Toshiba has announced that it will be bringing a new lineup of NAND-flash-based solid state drives to market in the first quarter of 2009. Claiming the industry’s first 2.5-inch 512GB SSD, based on 43 […]
Aside from the fear of invisible androids, a recent paper at Applied Physics Letters on the possibility of transparent resistive memory, or TRRAM, adds another item to the infinite task list of “what can we do with this?”: . This report covers the fabrication of a fully transparent resistive random access memory (TRRAM) device based […]
Intel’s announcement of a deal with Hitachi to become the primary supplier of flash memory for Hitachi’s upcoming line of high end SSD solid-state computer drives, particularly for computer servers and storage systems, foments a shakedown of the players in the market. Currently Intel has a joint partnership with Micron for a range of flash […]
Title: Memristor and Memristive Systems Symposium Location: UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA Description: This symposium will explore the potential of memristors and memristive systems as they advance state of the art nano-electronic circuits.
