Ah, memristors. I didn't know term had fallen out of popularity. These things were all the rage up till about 10 years ago. “The 4th fundamental missing electrical circuit component”: resistor, inductor, capacitor, and.. memristor. We were supposed to build hardware neural nets the size of human brains with these things, and get petabytes of storage in unheard-of densities. What happened?

but this is not memristor afaik, the breakthrough here is that it has multiple states, not that it can remember the states without power. (At least the article does not mention if the state is preserved so I would assume not.)

  No it has a continuum of states. It’s the same thing.
