The key feature of a memristor is that the resistance is a function of its previous resistance, thereby the behaviour of the device is influenced by changing the way in which potential is applied across it. Ultimately, information can be encoded on memristors, which can then be used to implement a number of circuit topologies. Biological substrates have already been shown to exhibit some memristive properties. It is, therefore, logical that all biological media will follow this trend to some degree. In this paper we demonstrate that a range of yet untested specimens exhibit memristive properties, including mediums such as water and dampened wood shavings on which we can cultivate biological specimens. We propose that memristance is not a binary property {0,1}, but rather a continuum on the scale [0,1]. The results imply that there is great potential for hybrid electronic systems that combine traditional electronic typologies with naturally occurring specimens.

关于植物和真菌的记忆

忆阻器的关键特性是其电阻是其先前电阻的函数，因此器件的行为受改变施加在其两端的电位方式的影响。最终，信息可以在忆阻器上编码，然后可以用于实现许多电路拓扑。生物底物已经被证明表现出一些忆阻特性。因此，所有生物媒体都将在某种程度上遵循这一趋势是合乎逻辑的。在本文中，我们证明了一系列尚未经过测试的标本表现出忆阻特性，包括水和潮湿的木屑等介质，我们可以在这些介质上培养生物标本。我们建议忆阻不是二元属性 {0,1}，而是 [0,1] 尺度上的连续体。
