We present novel techniques for realising reliable low overhead logic functions and more complex systems based on the switching characteristics of memristors. Firstly, we show that memristive circuits have inherent properties for realising multiple valued MIN-MAX operations over the post algebra. We then present an efficient hybrid 1T-4M logic architecture for dual XOR/AND and XNOR/OR functionality, which can be seamlessly integrated with the existing CMOS technology. Although memristors are usually considered to operate at lower frequencies, however, recent advances in technology show their potentiality at high frequencies. To this end, we also explore the effects of high frequencies on their performance and thereby propose reliable high frequency design techniques based on our 1T-4M architectures. Experimental results, based on the design of full adders and multipliers over GF, show that the proposed designs require significantly lower power and overhead while maintaining reliable performance at low as well as at high frequencies compared to the existing techniques.

The rise of emerging technologies such as Big Data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, which requires efficient power schemes, is driving brainstorming in data computing and storage technologies. In this study, merely relying on the fundamental structure of two memristors and a resistor, arbitrary Boolean logic can be reconfigured and calculated in two steps, while no additional voltage sources are needed beyond "±V P " and 0, and all state reversals are based on memristor set switching. Utilizing the proposed logic scheme in an elegant form of unity structure and minimum cost, the implementation of a 1-bit adder is demonstrated economically, and a promising circuit scheme for the N-bit adder is exhibited. Some critical issues including the crosstalk problem, energy consumption, and peripheral circuits are further simulated and discussed. Compared with existing works on memristive logic, such methods support building a memristor-based digital in-memory calculation system with high functional reconfigurability, simple voltage sources, and low power and area consumption.

Memristors have been intensively studied in recent years as potential building blocks for the construction of versatile neuromorphic architectures. The prevalent developments focus on nanoionic devices due to their ease of reversible regulation, non-volatility, scalability down to the atomic level, low-energy consumption, nanosecond response times, sufficient yield and reliability, as well as their homologous regulatory mechanisms with biological synapses. However, despite their desirable structures and excellent properties, the previously reported properties of nanoionic devices are rather diverse and dissatisfactory for the delivery of reliable analog properties, which is the precondition for the imitation of brain-like functions. Here, the general requirements of neuromorphic engineering in terms of device structure, characterization parameters, synaptic functions and device engineering are introduced. A critical overview of the proposed nanoionic mechanisms for memristive switching is given, focusing particularly on providing fundamental insights into the strategies for regulating the adaptive memristive characteristics of devices that resemble the behaviors of biological synapses, which is an element of neural networks. In addition, the research progress in active materials (e.g., oxides, polymers, small molecules, bio-macromolecules and dopants), especially regarding the correlation among materials, is elaborated and a rational approach to provide insight into new design strategies is considered, and how to understand the memristor mechanisms and further achieve excellent memristive devices is discussed. Finally, the current challenges and several possible future research directions in this area are discussed.
