~~ The Memristor ~~


The Next generation stuff, a microscopic brain. Memristor is a microscopic component that can retain the electrical state even when it is switched off. This component is expected to be much cheaper and faster the the already existing flash storage devices.This device has an amazing speed and can also make the RAM obsolete in the history of computing. The theoretical concept of the memristor came up in 1971, and it has now been built in the labs, ready to revolutionize the world of computers.

This is one technology advancement which is sending shock waves through the world of computing. At present the memristor is under development by a team at Hewlett Packard(HP).
