Memristors with a twist: Quasi-liquid soft matter foreshadows biocompatible electronics and flexible robots

In some circles, memristors (from "memory resistor," as coined by Leon Chua in a 1971 paper outlining memristive theory) are all the rage – and for good reason: As circuit elements which "remember" the amount of current ...
