HP Invents Fabled Memristor, New Class of Electrical Components

Yesterday Hewlett-Packard (HP), best known as a leading personal computer manufacturer, announced what may be one of the most significant electronics breakthroughs of the decade. Researchers at HP Labs, the central research center for the company, confirmed the existence of the previously theorized fourth fundamental circuit element of electrical engineering.

The new component is called the “memristor” -- a word blend of "memory" and "resistor". The physical working model and the mathematical model of the component were presented side by side in a paper in the journal Nature, yesterday. Four researchers at the lab, led by R. Stanley Williams, presented the device which retains the history of information passed to it.

The device could make for computers that need no boot-up, never forget, use less power, and associate memories much like the human mind. Such possibilities were long considered the realm of science fiction. The realization of the device was 37 years in the making, and many had come to think it would never be created.

I wonder how you would update that....

i don't get it, so it's another way of remembering stuff without being powered? like flash memory?

yes, but persumably near non existant write and read time. I expect that this would be handeled a lot the way GPU's, CPU's, or DRAM is! It would essentailly be another form of SSD anyway. It would be sick if this was socketed to our motherboards the same way our cpu's are.

Additional Comment:

im thinking... maybe... 4gb of on die storage? who knows. This tech would be great to see come about
