Alex Nugent is the CEO of Knowm Inc. He is an inventor and entrepreneur at the crossroads of natural self-organization, neuromemristive electronics and machine learning. He is an optimist and a problem solver and believes that Nature is the highest form of technology. He lives by the motto that "the best way to predict the future is to invent it."
Knowm Memristors are impressive, but like all memristors there have remained two issues related to their use in VLSI deep learning accelerators. The first issue is reliably programming the state of a memristor in a compact and time efficient way. While ap... read more
The Oxide-Memristor Paradox Since launching Knowm Inc four years ago there has been a perplexing paradox that I believe has finally resolved itself. Soon after publication of AHaH Computing: From Meta-Stable Switches to Machine Learning I had the great fo... read more

Omissions in Review Paper from University of Michigan The field of memristors exploded over the last ten years, so it can be hard to keep everything straight–especially if you are not a physical chemist that specializes in memory materials. As Knowm... read more
In this post we will show how to set up Eclipse to deploy a Java application to a Raspberry Pi located on the local network. We have adapted from this article to reflect fixes to common errors. Set up Raspberry Pi Insure that your RPi is connected to your... read more
Prerequisites How To Setup Your Knowm Developer Environment What is Knowm? Thermodynamic Computing Introduction The Memristor Discovery platform is a low cost educational and research tool for exploring memristor electronics. Originally developed as a ris... read more
Overview The purpose of this post is to give you some guidance on how to create your own Memristor Discovery experiment. We show you how to make a ‘clone’ of an existing experiment and then modify it for your own purposes. You should be somewh... read more
I recently came across a discussion thread on Y Combinator Hacker News, which has been archived here. After looking into the law regarding defamation of character and taking a few deep breaths–I decided it would be better to offer a public response.... read more
Knowm’s Notes Despite many folks like myself theorizing over the last decade about memristors and the circuits that can be built from them, it is important to understand that we are only just now, as a global community, actually learning how to use ... read more
