In 2008, the creation of memristor, the fourth component of basic electronic circuits with the ability to accumulate information about the charge that has passed through it, was announced. In this review, the history of the discovery, its significance for further development of micro- and nanoelectronics, fundamental aspects of the problem, as well as the contribution of Ukrainian researchers to their solution are highlighted. Advantages of the memristor in comparison with existing elements of electronic circuitry and prospects for its practical application are discussed.
