Resistive
RAM) A category of non-volatile memory technologies that can modify the structure of a storage cell to have a conductive low resistance or non-conductive high resistance. Used for both memory and storage, RRAM is much faster than flash memory (storage). Considered a type of memristor and also called "ReRam," commercial products emerged in the 2010s. See

Crossbar's RRAM
When voltage is applied to the electrodes, Crossbar's RRAM cell switches between high and low resistance. (Image courtesy of Crossbar Inc.)
