Pretty cool but it seems this isn't new research (there are many references online older than April for memristors and NAND gates).
Can anyone who has access to the actual article explain in a little more layman terms how the ciruit works? I get we have 3 memristors (one of which is always false) and 1 resistor but I don't know enough electronics to understand how they come together and produce a NAND gate that also maintains state.
- jonsen 17y agoI do not have access to the original article. But as I interpret this a single memristor acts as a memory device. A memristor has inherent memory. Also combination of memristors may perform logical operations. Thereby you may in theory build computational circuitry from memristors alone. One basic device do it all. That's the point, as I read it. Usual basic transistor devices are NAND functions L L | H L H | H H L | H H H | L and you need two NANDs for a basic memory cell. You need only one memristor for a basic memory cell. Memristors may be combined into IMP functions L L | H L H | H H L | L H H | H IMPs together with NOTs (the 'false' memristor mentioned?) can serve as a basis for everything just as NANDs can. As I said, this is just my understanding from the post.
