Flexible Chips Do the NIST Twist

The video discusses NIST's development of flexible memory technology using inexpensive materials. This technology allows memory chips to be bent or twisted without losing functionality, retaining data even when powered off. The chips are made by depositing titanium dioxide on a plastic sheet, creating a switch that operates under 10 volts. Potential applications include health monitoring through wearable sensors. The chips also exhibit characteristics similar to memristors, which could advance AI and computing. NIST plans to further explore the technology's capabilities.

What is a memristor and how does it differ from traditional memory?

What is the next step for the NIST researchers after demonstrating their flexible memory chip?
