HPE Scientists Explain Working Principle of Memristors at Atomic Scale

Scientists at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have experimentally proved the crucial aspects of how memristor, a new kind of microelectronic device, operates at an atomic scale. This was proven through experiments conducted by scientists at two Department of Energy national labs, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Testing Conditions for Tank Testers

In addition to the financial implications of the loss of product, leakage from storage tanks can cause serious environmental damage and represent a grave threat to health and safety. In some circumstances, particularly when the stored materials are combustible or explosive, leakage can result in a major incident involving the loss of life and substantial damage to assets and to an organisation’s brand.
