Resistive Switching

Resistive switching refers to a process where a material changes its electrical resistance in response to applied voltage, allowing it to switch between high and low resistance states. This behavior enables the material to store information, functioning like a memory device. When a specific voltage is applied, the material "switches" its resistance, and it remains in that state until another voltage prompts it to change. This phenomenon is essential in resistive random-access memory (ReRAM), offering potential for faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient data storage solutions.
