Developing electronics beyond Moore’s Law requires revolutionary vision in novel devices, disruptive technologies, new materials and alternative computer architecture. Memristor is an emerging nanoelectronic device that use resistance instead of charge as state variable to represent digital or analog information. In this talk, I will first introduce the background and fundamental concepts about memristive devices, followed by our approaches in device engineering, fabrication/integration, and physical understanding. I will then showcase our recent progress in using these devices and circuits for analog computing, neuromorphic computing and reconfigurable radiofrequency (RF) systems, etc.
