A memristor (/ ˈ m ɛ m r ɪ s t ər /; a portmanteau of memory resistor) is a non-linear two-terminal electrical component relating electric charge and magnetic flux linkage.It was described and named in 1971 by Leon Chua, completing a theoretical quartet of fundamental electrical components which also comprises the resistor, capacitor and inductor.
While the memristor is defined in terms of a two-terminal circuit element, there was an implementation of a three-terminal device called a memistor developed by Bernard Widrow in 1960. Memistors formed basic components of a neural network architecture called ADALINE developed by Widrow. [1] [2] The memistor was also used in MADALINE.
An example of a bio-MEMS device is this automated FISH microchip, which integrates a reagent multiplexer, a cell chamber with a thin-film heater layer, and a peristaltic pump. [1] Bio-MEMS is an abbreviation for biomedical (or biological) microelectromechanical systems.
The Caravelli-Traversa-Di Ventra equation (CTDV) is a closed-form equation to the evolution of networks of memristors.It was derived by Francesco Caravelli (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Fabio L. Traversa (Memcomputing Inc.) and Massimiliano Di Ventra (UC San Diego) to study the exact evolution of complex circuits made of resistances with memory (memristors).
MEMS microcantilever resonating inside a scanning electron microscope Proposal submitted to DARPA in 1986 first introducing the term "microelectromechanical systems". MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) is the technology of microscopic devices incorporating both electronic and moving parts.
Lab-on-a-chip devices are a subset of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices and sometimes called "micro total analysis systems" (μTAS). LOCs may use microfluidics, the physics, manipulation and study of minute amounts of fluids. However, strictly regarded "lab-on-a-chip" indicates generally the scaling of single or multiple lab ...
Systems chemistry is the science of studying networks of interacting molecules, to create new functions from a set (or library) of molecules with different hierarchical levels and emergent properties. [1] [2] Systems chemistry is also related to the origin of life (abiogenesis). [3]
A ribosome is a biological machine that utilizes protein dynamics. At the first C.E.C. Workshop, in Brussels in November 1991, bioelectronics was defined as 'the use of biological materials and biological architectures for information processing systems and new devices'.
