Making a Video to Teach a General Audience about Memristors

Memristors are a novel nanotechnology with the potential to enable faster and smarter computing. Because of the impact that these nanoelectronic devices could have on our everyday technology, it is important to educate the general public about memristor physics, including their applications and advantages. My research involved learning about the memristor-related work performed by previous Mary Baldwin University undergraduate physics students and then creating a video describing this work to a general audience. The video was made using a combination of Blender animation software and VideoPro video production software, along with still images and audio. My final product is a YouTube video that explains the Mary Baldwin University memristor research and highlights potential future applications of that research.
