Caption
The three coloured layers at the bottom illustrate an oscillator, which can perform different types of calculations when interacting with other oscillators in a network or a chain. Above this is seen a semi-transparent insulating layer with a red and black top contact. This top contact can be used to control how the ions (the dark grey balls) in the insulator position themselves and this enables control of the insulator’s resistance. This is a memristor and it gives the oscillator memory. Now that these two functions have been integrated for the first time in the same component, each oscillator, which can be compared with a neuron, can have its own local memory independent of the others.
