Abstract: We explore the current state of the progress in memristive and memcapacitive devices and their possible applications in electronic, spintronic and in the field of biological neural network from the first proposition by Leon O. Chua in 1971.This demands inclusion of devices exhibiting memristive behavior due to change in internal state following variations in temperature, spin polarization, resistance and history dependent channel conductance in axons.Memcapacitive systems that can be realized from metamaterial medium with metal layer embedding, from charge transport through nanopore, and by the vibration of strained elastic membrane replacing one plate of the regular capacitor has also been discussed.Finally, memristor and memcapacitor based circuits finding application in analog memory and computing have been reported.
