Abstract
In this chapter, the historic route from the prediction of the existence of the memristor in 1971 to the fabrication of the first physical model in 2008, is presented. In more detail, the first part of this chapter highlights the importance of breakthrough discovery of the memristor by Prof. Leon Chua as the fourth fundamental circuit element. Next, the basic properties of this new element, as well as its characteristic fingerprint, are discussed. The introduction, by Chua and Kang in 1976, of a more generalized class of systems, in regard to the original definition of a memristor, which are called memristive systems, is also presented. The realization of the first physical model of the memristor in the laboratories of Hewlett–Packard and its mathematical description are also discussed. Finally, the importance of this new element due to its possible applications is highlighted.
