Computing with Brains!!

From a speaking Barbie doll to ISRO’s space rocket, everything in the current world runs with transistors as a very basic element in it. It is hard to define the world without considering the evolution of transistor technology. From a room-sized transistor, we have come to an era where transistors are so small that we can’t even see them with our naked eyes. But everything comes with an expiry date on it, we cant scale the size of transistor down anymore, the current time might be an end to transistor technology and a beginning for memristor technology or resistive random access memory. The devices that we are trying to develop here at IFOX department, HZB can replicate working of a transistor with so many advantages on it, for example, power consumption and complex computation. Moreover, the idea of how memristors works are kind of similar to how synapses and neurons work in our brain. Therefore it can create a breakthrough in the current technology that we are using. Let’s hope that memristor technology comes into action soon!
