- mitchty 9y agoHow? The first memristor was created in 2008.
- cag_ii 9y agoThe concept goes back to at least '71 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1083337/ http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1083337/
- mitchty 9y agoCorrect on concept, but up until 2008 nobody produced one reliably. You can find references and hints to them all the way back to maxwell's day. They tended to be regarded as anomalous circuits back then however.
- fao_ 9y agoThe fact that nobody has produced a fusion generator, does not mean that the amount of articles claiming that fusion is 'just around the corner' is any less.
- daveguy 9y agoIt took at least that long to go from the theorized device to the first prototype.
- f23r13 9y ago..."hyped as"...
- e12e 9y agoWell, if they were 10 years away in 2008, that should mean the first 90% is done this year, then it'll be another 9 years for the remaining 10%? So 2026? ;-)
