New Basic Element For Electronic Circuits: 'Memristor' Could Lead To Energy-efficient Computing Systems With Memories That Don't Forget

Thursday, May 1, 2008 - 16:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers from HP Labs have proven the existence of what had previously been only theorized as the fourth fundamental circuit element in electrical engineering. This scientific advancement could make it possible to develop computer systems that have memories that do not forget, do not need to be booted up, consume far less power and associate information in a manner similar to that of the human brain.
