The Introduction of Flash memory
which is a form of non-volatile memory was a big stepping stone. Now one of
these technologies is the memristor, a type of flash memory that “can remember
how much current has passed through it” this in turn allows it remain at its
current state at the moment when the current is turned off and starts back the
minute it powers up again. With this ability it is believed that it could even “replace
RAM as we know them”.
With this new technology it is
believed that the average computer will be remarkably faster, and will be able
to complete more difficult tasks and be able to remember a range a different
states rather than the on and off states today's computers have.
It is believed that one of the
issues facing developers of the new memristoer is the material used in the
making of it. Researchers out in Korea published a paper stating how the use of
titanium oxide based memristors have been successful.
In response to this, HP realise
new papers about “Switching location of a bipolar Memristor, chemical, Thermal
and Structured Mapping”. It seems that the route of using titanium oxide based
material is one many companies are taking as IOPs science nanotechnology says
how it continued its focus on this type of material.
So it seems that the memristor
with all its ability to remember and read different currents will take its rightful place as the next
advancement in the use of flash and non-volatile memory.
