HP's Memristor Tech Promises Faster, Bigger, Cheaper Memory Chips

Memristors are a seriously hot topic at the moment--we've seen several announcements about these tiny slivers of semiconductor which are the future of electronics, and now HP's got news too. Their memristors will beat flash memory, apparently.

For those of you who've no idea what a memristor is, here's a quick recap ('cause they're going to be so important in the future). The name is a bit of a giveaway--they're kind of "memory transitor/resistors." A transistor is a tiny electrical valve...
