A new type of ‘memristor’ electronics technology could allow the integration of memory, processing and display functions in a one-material device.

Engineers at UCL created a phase-changing memresitor device entirely in silicon that can operate at ambient conditions.

‘We’re reaching the limits of what the current generation of flash technology can do both in limits of scaling and in reliability — as you make them smaller you start having problems trying to dissipate heat from the system,’ said Dr Tony Kenyon, UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
