Searching for a component that increases resistance with voltage

You can start with just an opamp and a couple of resistors.

When I saw that thumbnail I thought it was going to be some sort of memristor based thing. It wasn't but it was a circuit made by Chua himself at least.

The problem is this trip point is probably a little broad and finding a relay to match the criteria will not be easy. A series resistor, which adds a second component, could adjust it somewhat . Once the relay pulls in it will hold until the input voltage drops to a much lower value so you'd have hysteresis.

This idea is the closest I've seen to satisfy the criteria specified - and - it has the added bonus of having the infinite resistance/zero resistance characteristic isolated from the trigger voltage.
Of course, the criteria specified do have a lot to be desired if we really want to offer appropriate suggestions.

In most walks of life, technical or non-technical, if we know the reason for the question you will probably get a better answer. Either the answer will be more pertinent to your needs, or perhaps it can suggest a better alternative that you haven’t even considered.

Indeed.
