Reconfigurable AlO-Based Memristor for All-in-One Artificial Synapse and Nociceptor Neurons.

Multifunctional bionic devices have widespread applications in neuromorphic computing, intelligent sensors, and robotics. The inherent properties of memristors make them suitable for these emerging applications, but different applications require either volatile or nonvolatile operations in a unique device. In this work, we have developed a novel reconfigurable Ag/AlO/ITO memristor, which achieves adjustable switching behavior between volatile switching and nonvolatile switching by modulating the compliance current.
