#CHIPS: "Memristors Emulate Brain's Learning"

Memristors were invented by IEEE Fellow Leon Chua as the 4th passive circuit element after resistors, capacitors and inductors. Designed to mimic the synapse between neurons in the brain, memristors are also revolutionizing the design of computers based on the human brain at HRL Labs: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
