The identification of memristive properties in electronic devices has attracted controversy. Several such memristor system technologies have been developed, notably ReRAM. Such a system comprises a circuit, of multiple conventional components, which mimics key properties of the ideal memristor component and is also commonly referred to as a memristor. Ĭhua and Kang later generalized the concept to memristive systems.

It was described and named in 1971 by Leon Chua, completing a theoretical quartet of fundamental electrical components which comprises also the resistor, capacitor and inductor. Memristor developed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and National Energy Technology LaboratoryĪ memristor ( / ˈ m ɛ m r ɪ s t ər/ a portmanteau of memory resistor) is a non-linear two-terminal electrical component relating electric charge and magnetic flux linkage.
