Gamma Rays Can’t Stop This Memory

IEEE Spectrum Researchers at the U.K.’s University of Southampton developed a memristor that can measure gamma radiation and self-heal after exposure. The researchers developed a simple circuit that uses the amount of voltage necessary to set the memristor to measure radiation levels. After 30 days of being exposed to 5 megarads of radiation, the device […]
