Memristor, which had been predicted a long time ago (Chua, L. O. IEEE Trans. Circuit Theory 1971, 18, 507), was recently invented (Strukov, D. B.; et al. Nature 2008, 453, 80). The introduction of memristor is expected to open new era for nonvolatile memory storage, neuromorphic computing, digital logic, and analog circuit. Furthermore, several breakthroughs were made memristive phenomena transistors with single-layer MoS2 (Sangwan, V. K.; Nat. Nanotechnol. 2015, 10, 403. van der Zande, A....
