Memristors and non-volatile memory devices
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
In the era of big data and machine learning technology, performing low-power in-memory computing operations is becoming an increasingly important requisite. While much advance has been achieved in recent years in terms of software and processing algorithms based on artificial neural networks, the development of hardware architectures from on-chip memory and storage to in-memory computing hardware – and ultimately brain-inspired computing – is still facing significant challenges. In this context, resistive-switching random-access memory devices such as memristors are key elements in the realization of memory integrated processing, as well as artificial synapses and in-memory processing, where memory and processing units are no longer physically separated.
This Collection brings together the latest developments in the realization and optimization of memristive technologies for modern applications that take advantage of neural networks and neuromorphic computing.
We welcome the submission of any paper related to memristors and non-volatile memory devices. Authors will have the option to submit primary research Articles to either Communications Materials or Scientific Reports, and all submissions will be subject to the same review process and editorial standards as regular Articles in their respective journals. Other article types, such as Reviews and Perspectives, can be considered for inclusion in the Collection but only for publication in Communications Materials.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure.

The Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Scientific Reports and Communications Materials more generally. The Collection will publish original research papers, Reviews, Perspectives and Comments. Papers will be published in Scientific Reports and Communications Materials as soon as they are accepted, and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage.
When submitting your manuscript to Scientific Reports or Communications Materials via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of Scientific Reports or Communications Materials and subject to the same review process and editorial standards. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that any individual paper will be included in the Collection. The peer review of any submissions for which the Guest Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member and/or the journal's Editors who have no competing interests. This Collection has not been supported by sponsorship.
