Researchers from the Department of Electric Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Texas have discovered a new circuit element known as the Meduce.
Previously, Memristors and Mecapacities have been discovered, and now the memorator ends this line. The prefix “MEM” means that these elements can store and remember the previous current or voltage values, and modify their properties accordingly.
Memristors are electronic devices that were discovered by scientist Leon CHUA in 1971. The classic elements of an electrical circuit are known to be resistance, capacitors and inductances. Chua predicted that the Memristor would be the fourth fundamental element of electronic circuits. However, it was not until 2008 that HP Labs researchers created the first functional Memristor.
A Memristor is a device that can change its resistance depending on the strength of the current that crosses it. This means that a Memristor can store information and be scheduled to modify its resistance. Memristors also have the ability to “remember” their previous state. This unique feature makes memristors ideal for use in memory devices, artificial intelligence technologiesAnd neural networks.
In addition to the Memristor, the existence of mecapaciers and memoirs was also planned. Although the scaper was made physically in 2019, there had been no final announcement concerning the implementation of the memorator so far.
Abhiram Dinavahi, Alexandre Yamamoto and H. Rusty Harris demonstrated the first physical evidence of memorization in their article. They created a passive system with two terminals, mainly made up of an interacting electromêtant with a pair of permanent magnets. Using this system, researchers studied magnetic flow density and the intensity of the magnetization field of the inductance element in the circuit. Thus, the existence of a curve of narrowed hysteresis inside the inductance has been proven, leading to its Memristive State or its nature similar to a memory, by the same definition as the Memristor and the Memcapacing. It has been shown that the element implemented has the three required properties of a meduction. Now, its place in the periodic table of circuit elements is discussed by the extension of the genealogy of the Memristors to Memoirs.
