Abstract

Memristors, the fourth fundamental circuit element, have gained significant attention in the design of non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing systems. This paper investigates the role of memristors in modern electrical circuits, focusing on their application in memory storage, logic gates, and brain-inspired computing. The study explores the physical characteristics of memristors, including their unique resistance-switching behavior and non- volatility. Various circuit configurations are simulated to demonstrate the advantages of using memristors over traditional memory elements. The paper also discusses the potential of memristors in reducing power consumption and increasing data density in storage systems. Experimental setups are presented to validate the theoretical models, and the challenges in mass production of memristor-based systems are discussed.
