A printhead with a number of memristors having different structures is described. The printhead includes a number of nozzles to deposit an amount of fluid onto a print medium. Each nozzle includes a firing chamber to hold the amount of fluid, an opening to dispense the amount of fluid onto the print medium, and an ejector to eject the amount of fluid through the opening. The printhead also includes a first number of memristors having a first structure and a second number of memristors having a second structure. The second structure is different than the first structure.

Abstract:
A system for asymmetrically selecting a memory element is described. The system includes a number of memory cells in a crossbar array. Each memory cell includes a memory element to store information. The memory element is defined as an intersection between a column electrode and a row electrode of the crossbar array. Each memory cell also includes a selector to select a target memory element by relaying a first selecting voltage to a column electrode that corresponds to the target memory element and relaying a second selecting voltage to a row electrode that corresponds to the target memory element. The system also includes a controller to pass a first standing voltage to column electrodes of the crossbar array and to pass a second standing voltage to row electrodes of the crossbar array. The first standing voltage is different than the second standing voltage.

The present disclosure is drawn to chemical sensing devices and associated methods. In one example, a chemical sensing device can include a substrate; an elongated nanostructure having an attachment end and a free end opposite the attachment end, the attachment end affixed to the substrate and the free end including a metal; and a metal oxide coating applied to the elongated nanostructure. In one example, a functional group can be attached to the coating via a covalent bond.
Abstract:
An implantable nanosensor includes a stent to be implanted inside a fluid conduit. The stent has a well in a surface of the stent. The implantable nanosensor further includes a nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate disposed in the well. The nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate is to produce an optical scattering response signal indicative of a presence of an analyte in a fluid carried by the fluid conduit when interrogated by an optical stimulus signal.
