These are ... not the synapses you 're looking for. These are resistors. It doesn't seem they can be used to replace weights in hypothetical deep learning circuits. They certainly can't replace real synapses
> The new programmable resistors are similar to memristors, or memory resistors. Both kinds of devices are essentially electric switches that can remember which state they were toggled to after their power is turned off. As such, they resemble synapses, whose electrical conductivity strengthens or weakens depending on how much electrical charge has passed through them in the past.
