memristors, like core memory, are destructively read but are they really, with HP implementation - which is not a "real" memristor? In the video presentation [1] they show that they change the state of the memristor using very short "high" voltage impulses, and then measure its resistance using lower voltages that do not make the oxygen vacancies migrate - and thus do not change the state, if I understood that correctly.
If they can use these low voltages (and low currents) to effectively read the state without altering it, they get incredibly simplified management of the memory, and incredibly low power read operations, which would justify their assertion that their memristors can be packed in 3d without thermal problems.
