Techno For Our Life

Hewlett-Packard (HP) announced that researchers from HP Labs, the central office of research have proved the existence  initially only the fourth element electrical circuit. This scientific progress may make it possible to develop computer systems with memory, which will not lose data and require downloading, consuming substantially less energy and associating information similar to the human brain.

The journal Nature group of four researchers from HP Labs, led by Stanley Williams (Stanley Williams), presented a mathematical model and physical example memristora - resistors with memory (memory resistor) - which has the property to preserve the history of the information he received.

Chua Leon (Leon Chua), a famous professor of electrical engineering office and computer sciences at the University of California at Berkeley, initially theorize about this element on the pages of an academic journal, published 37 years ago. Chua asserted that memristor is the fourth fundamental element of electrical schemes, along with resistors, inductive and capacity, and its properties can not be duplicated any of the combinations of these three elements.

Drawing on research in nano electronics, Williams team was able to prove the existence memristora. Discounted HP Labs memristora mathematical model of physics will allow developers to create integrated circuits, which will significantly improve productivity and energy efficiency of PCs and data-centres.

One of the applications of this research may be creating a new kind of computer memory that would complement, and then T.sonic widespread dynamic random access memory (DRAM). Computers with DRAM-memory does not have the capacity to retain information when the loss of electricity supply. When memory is restored, this computer requires downloading data poglaschayuschy more energy with magnetic disks to run the system. In contrast, the computer with memristorami will retain information after the loss of energy and would not require the boot process, reducing energy consumption and more waste of time.

Based on memristorah memory and hard drives have the potential to reduce energy consumption and ensure greater stability and reliability of the data-points in dual voltage. Another application  technology is the development of computer systems, storage and associated series of events, in the same manner as the human brain recognizes patterns. This could substantially improve the technology to recognize individuals, including its security and privacy, which define a set of biometric data  person for access to personal information, or learning experiences device.
