The Role of Memristors in Neuromorphic Computing

Quick fact

The memristor was first theorized in 1971 by Leon Chua, but it was not physically realized until 2008 by HP Labs, which ignited the modern field of memristor-based neuromorphic computing.

Why this is interesting

Your brain performs massively parallel, energy-efficient computations, yet it has no separate memory and processor. How can we build a computer that works like that?
