New Meminductor Mimics Memory, Revolutionizes Brain-Inspired Computing

12/16/2025

Summary

Story summary

Researchers led by Frank Zhigang Wang and his team developed a meminductor that changes inductance based on the history of current flow.
This meminductor can mimic biological behaviors, such as memorizing and anticipating stimuli, as demonstrated in amoebae experiments.
Unlike memristors, which change resistance, meminductors affect the time constant of circuits, potentially enabling more efficient brain-inspired computing.
Further research is needed to explore capabilities and integration into larger computing architectures.
