Rusty Harris, an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&amp;M University, has discovered a novel circuit element referred to as a meminductor.<\/p>\n<p>A circuit element refers to an electrical component utilized to regulate and guide the flow of electricity within an electrical circuit. The traditional three circuit elements are the resistor, capacitor, and inductor. Recently, within the past 15 years, two additional circuit elements, the memristor, and the memcapacitor, have been discovered. These newer circuit components are referred to as the \u201cmem-\u201d versions of their classical counterparts and exhibit unique current and voltage properties that depend on previous values of current or voltage in time, acting like a memory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose two discoveries set the world a little bit on its head as far as electrical engineering,\u201d Harris said. \u201cAll of a sudden, we thought we had three, but now we found these two others. And so that led us to think, \u2018OK, there\u2019s got to be more then, but how do we understand what they are? How do we map all of these things relative to each other?\u2019 And it turns out, there is a relationship between each of the resistors and its family and each of the capacitors and its family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. H.
