Quantum Leap in Metrology: Memristors as a New Standard for Electrical Resistance (27/10/2025)
Quantum point contacts controlled in memristive devices may lead to better references and standards to measure electrical resistances.
The PGI-7 research ranges from ‘materials and phenomena’ to ‘devices and integration technology’ to ‘memristive neuromrophic hardware’, spanning a broad spectrum of expertise for a comprehensive approach to new materials, electronics, and information processing. We specifically explore the nanoionic processes in oxides and 2D materials. Our research on memristive devices covers basic phenomena, modelling from the atomistic to the circuit level and the development of physics-aware test algorithms. We are contributing to the international research communities in solid state ionics, oxide electronics, and neuromorphic computing, and linking our research to the fields of energy materials, quantum materials, and functional ceramics.
Director: Prof. Dr. Regina Dittmann
It is our vision to contribute to the discovery and development of new disruptive computing technologies by excellent research and an integrative approach starting from basic research and reaching up to systems development. In this way, we aim to take a key role in the PGI’s general mission to discover and interpret new phenomena in solid matter, to develop new materials and functional nanostructures, and to innovate experimental and theoretical models, with the major focus on long-term applications in information technology.
