A current is applied and a metal oxidizes. It’s pretty well known that as a metal oxidizes, it’s resistive properties will change.&lt;p&gt;As most people know batteries have a limited number of cycles. Every reaction cycle adds some entropy&amp;#x2F;side reactions, and eventually it will become irreversible. Magnetic storage reorients a crystal or metal, which is more repeatable than a chemical reaction. Our neurons have similar systems to “clean” themselves so they can reset.&lt;p&gt;I imagine finding a viable memresistor is more about its ability to cycle.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>An experimental open source memristor / programmable “diode”</title><url>https://bigattichouse.medium.com/an-experimental-open-source-memristor-programmable-diode-4476c1874d72</url></story>
