Comment Resistive switches are memristors (Score 1) 73
Resistive switching memory *is* memristance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Leon Chua has been researching memristors for about half a century, and R. Stanley Williams has many article and lectures about how memristors can be used in place of NAND gates in CPUs (i.e. to perform computing tasks) as well as memory. I encourage everyone to use the right terminology when discussing and introducing memristors to a new audience, especially since they are being rediscovered at an increasing rate recently. R. Stanley Williams claims that it took a long time to collect a knowledge base of research papers and journal articles on the subject, because everyone was using a different phrase for "memristors".
