Introduction Many memristive materials have recently been reported [1–5], and the trend continues. New designs and materials are being used to create a diverse range of devices and Knowm Inc. is now selling discrete memristors! Memristor models are also... read more
Knowm Collaborates with Kris Campbell at BSU My journey with Knowm and AHaH Computing started over a decade ago as a Physics major taking a break from studying for a quantum mechanics test. I got up and wandered the college library, pacing back and forth ... read more
Note to Readers: Four years later and there are now suspicions that metal-oxide memristors may have shelf-life issues. Read all about it here. HP’s Memristor Problem Today I read something that did not surprise me. HP has said that their memristor t... read more
Looking Into Nature The electron transport chain in photosystem II is one of the most important biochemical reaction pathways for life on this planet [1]. It starts with the absorption of a photon of light from the sun and through a sequential chain of se... read more
The first component that realizes the two-decades-old search for analog hardware that mimics the learning ability of the human brain’s synapses and neurons has come to market. Based on memristors, the component from startup Knowm Inc. (Sante Fe, N.M... read more
Während der IT-Riese HP seine ehrgeizigen Pläne zu Memristoren auf die lange Bank geschoben hat, legt das US-Startup Knowm los: Im Online-Shop von Knowm kann man dort für 220 US-Dollar einen Chip mit acht Memristoren kaufen. Das Bauelement ist nicht fÃ... read more
The Moment of Change for Neuromorphic Computing Systems Today marks the end of a grueling but exciting six weeks since we launched Knowm Inc. I have spoken with dozens of analysts and reporters and criss-crossed the country. We introduced Knowm Inc. and o... read more
Oxide-based Memristors I have been asked a number of times how the memristors I designed for Knowm Inc. differ from HP’s memristor. For every comment I make, I have to stress that I have not personally tested HP’s memristors. Their actual elec... read more
Ever since Knowm Inc. first launched the BS-AF-W memristors, it became clear that we needed a low-cost programmable interface to make it easier for people to learn how memristors work. Memristors are strange. They are ‘born’, they live for awh... read more
In 2009, Biolek et al. published a paper showing an idealized memristor model for a newly publicized memristor created at HP labs. The paper can be downloaded here. The model is referred to in a fews ways: “The Ideal Memristor”, “The non... read more
