University of Michigan engineers are claiming the first memristor-based programmable computer for artificial intelligence that can work on all its own. A memristor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It is basically a fourth class of electrical circuit, joining the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor.
