• ITMO Scientists Create Perovskite Memristor To Withstand 1,500+ Rewrite Cycles

  Researchers from ITMO and Harbin Engineering University have developed a stable perovskite nanomemristor that can withstand over 1,500 rewrite cycles and doesn’t degrade for months. At the same time, the device broke records in terms of its compact size (130-160 nanometers) and energy consumption (70-80 nanowatt). With this memristor, it’s possible to create fast and energy-efficient ultracompact processors for neuromorphic computing. This study, supported by Russian Science Foundation and Priority 2030, was published in Opto-Electronic Advances.
