Continuous device downsizing and circuit complexity have motivated the need for atomically-tunable memristor devices.Researchers have created spiking neural nets with thousands of memristors (that mimic how neurons operate) by using atomically thin layer of material. The CMOS transistors provide an outstanding control over the current across the memristors and demonstrate in-memory computation by constructing logic gates. Developments in resistive random access memory (RRAM) have enabled researchers to mimic biological neurons and synapses using memristors, which serves as a trainable synapses in neural networks. Advancements towards atomically-tunable memristors will allow for a new generation of neuromorphic computers.
