Research progress of the memristor and its application foreground

The origin and development of the memristor are reviewed.The physical characteristics of the memristor are discussed,memristor characteristics of being made from TiO2 and TiO2–x materials are showed.The functions,using ways and problems of needing to solve of the memristor are explored.The advantages and structure properties of the memristor used in memories and its application foreground at simulating neural networks are discussed.
