Problems solved by technology

Although a universal method to implement some binary logic operations based on a single resistive memory cell operated with dual voltage polarity has been proposed and proved, there is no method to implement all 16 binary Boolean logic operations based on a single arbitrary resistive memory cell. A universal method is reported, hindering the practical progress of resistive memory-based logic circuits
