One way some materials form memories is called return-point memory, which operates much like a single dial combination lock, ...

The ability to control the sequence of building blocks in polymers with increasing levels of precision offers new opportunities for tailoring the properties of designer synthetic macromolecules.

The mathematical theorems for return-point memory suggest that materials cannot store a sequence of previous deformations if the driving is only in one direction, or asymmetrical. However ...

The sequence of events in processing information, which includes (1) input, (2) processing, (3) storage and (4) output. The input stage can be further broken down into acquisition, data entry and ...
