This is astounding! To think that circuit component as fundamental as resistors/capacitors/inductors has been hidden from us till now..
And the applications are equally mind-boggling. If he's right about what is potentially possible using memristors then we're in for an amazing ride this decade. I for one hope we can soon say our farewells to HDD's, DRAM and SSD's.
- ableal 16y agoEr ... Josephson junctions, bubble memory, etc. ? Sometimes things do not pan out. Either because there's no significant advantage to the new tech, or because of manufacturing costs/problems, or ... Having hope is good, but keep in mind that the guys coming up with the new stuff point the upsides, of course. Then the hard-nosed spoilsports figure out the problems. Personally, I've been keeping an eye on this one for over a year - we'll probably figure out if it's a 'yea' or a 'nay' in another year. But I'm not seeing as much third-party excitement as expectable.
- skorgu 16y agoI'm wary as well. Think of how many revolutionary ram technologies have been just around the corner for ages. Mram, Feram, the "Upcoming" section of Wikipedia's memory pages lists more. Some of them were discovered in the 70s and are now 3-5 years from mass market! Just like they were three years ago!
