“Memristors” are one of several memory technologies that have been theorized and promised in the coming years. HP has made a real memristor, however, and the way solid state memory is created and stored could have just changed forever. First theorized in 1971, memristors are basic circuits like resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These circuits are able to store input by allowing their levels of electrical resistance to fluctuate amoung high and low, or 0 and 1 to a computer. Like flash memory, they retain that documents without ability — except they do it all on one circuit and at the speed of D-RAM. In the end, we could be looking at a whole new kind of storage, as lengthy as someone can figure out how to get these things onto integrated circuits. Nerds hats off, return to your fanboyism — now.
