Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I te tau 1971, i whakaarohia e tētahi tohunga ahupūngao te noho o tētahi huānga matua tuawhā i roto i te ara hiko, i tua atu i te toru i whakamahia i taua wā. Ko Leon Chua tōna ingoa, ā, i whakapono ia - nā ngā take o te taurite - ka taea te hanga i tētahi wāhanga anō hei hono i te ātete, te pūngao me te pūkaha. I huaina e ia ko "memristor", he kupu whakakotahitanga o te kupu mahara me te resistor. E 37 tau te roa o tā mātou pūkenga pūkaha ki te hopu i taua whakaaro: i hangaia te memristor tuatahi e Hewlett Packard i te tau 2008. I tēnei rā, he tokomaha nga kairangahau e whakapono ana ka taea e ia te whakaoho i te hurihanga o te rorohiko. Ka kī noa iho, ko te memristor te mutunga o ngā hikohiko e mōhiotia ana e tātou, me te tīmatanga o tētahi wā hou e kiia nei ko "ionics". Ko te transistor, i hangaia i te tau 1947, te wāhanga matua o ngā maramara rorohiko. E mahi ana mā te rere o ngā irahiko, i te mea e whakakotahi ana te memristor i ngā irahiko ki ngā ira, ki ngā ngota hiko rānei. I roto i te pūwhitiwhiti, mēnā ka pakaru te rere o ngā irahiko, hei tauira, mā te tapahi i te mana, ka ngaro katoa ngā mōhiohio. Engari ka taea e te memristor te maumahara ki te nui o te utu i rere i roto i a ia, a ka rite ki te kāri mahara ka pupuri i te raraunga ahakoa ka whakaweto te mana. Ka taea e tēnei te whakatakoto i te ara mō ngā rorohiko ka huri, ka huri anō hoki, pēnei i te maramara, ā, kāore e ngaro i ngā raraunga: kāore te RAM, te mahara rānei, e mukua ina whakawetotia te mīhini, me te kore e hiahiatia kia penapena i tētahi mea ki ngā kōpae mārō pērā ki te hangarau o nāianei. Engari he rerekētanga matua anō o ngā memristor ki ngā transistor: ka taea e rātau te mawhiti i ngā rohe o te waehere paerua. I te tīmatanga, ka whakamahia te hangarau hei hanga i ngā maramara mahara tino tere e nui ake ana ngā raraunga, e iti iho ana te pūngao e pau ana. Ka nui ake te kaha o te rorohiko noa iho i tēnei, engari ka taea hoki e te memristor te tukatuka. Ko Jennifer Rupp he kaiwhakaako i ngā rauemi hiko i te ETH Zurich, ā, kei te mahi tahi ia me IBM ki te hanga i tētahi mīhini e hāngai ana ki te memristor. Ka tohu a ia, ko ngā pūmahara,...
Ko te memristor he momo wāhanga hiko hou ka taea te huri i te hikohiko. I whakaahuatia tuatahitia i nga tau 1970, i mua noa atu i te wa i taea ai te hanga. Ka mahi ngā kairangahau o ETH me IBM i ngā pūmahara mō ngā pūrere rorohiko o te wā e heke mai ana. Kāore ngā maramara i runga i te pūtake o te pūmahara e hiahia ana ki te kirihou, nā reira ka taea e tātou te kite i ngā rorohiko i roto i ngā matapihi, i ngā papanga, i ngā kapu kawhe rānei.
