HP Breakthrough Could Spawn Computers That Don't Forget

HP has added a fourth circuit element to the known lineup. Previously, 
there were three: the resistor, the capacitor and the inductor. Until 
now, the fourth, known as the "memristor," had merely been a theory, 
albeit one going back to the 1970s. HP scientists didn't stop at 
mathematical proof of the memristor's existence, though -- they produced 
a physical model. The technology could be used to make computers' 
working memory more efficient, and also enable it to store data when 
powered down.
