Researchers in China have adapted the ancient mortise-and-tenon woodworking structure to design nanoscale memristors for scientific computing applications.
Memristors are devices whose resistance changes based on previously applied current, enabling programmed resistance values to be stored even when power is off.
The newly designed mortise-tenon-shaped (MTS) architecture memristors show exceptional properties such as high endurance, long-term memory retention, and fast switching speed.
This innovative technique could lead to the development of high-uniformity memristors for energy-efficient scientific computing platforms, potentially improving computational accuracy in large-scale arrays.
