Then, the question won't be "can we run Crysis"...it will be, how many sessions of Crysis would we like to run simultaneously.]]>Apr 30th 2008 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/May 1st 2008 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/Apr 30th 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/

At least I can reformat my computer, but what do I do to an eight year old's brain?

instead of storing a charge like a capacitor, it stores a resistance value. So when current goes through it, its resistance changes over time, and stays that way until reset by an opposite current. Something like that, but I don't fully understand yet.

Also, some of the articles I was reading also said that this somehow disproves large portions of circuit theory. Which I really don't understand at all.]]>May 1st 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/]]>Apr 30th 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/Please elaborate.]]>Apr 30th 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/
"The most significant limitation that the H.P. researchers said the new technology faces is that the memristors function about 10 times more slowly than today’s DRAM memory cells." -NYTimes]]>Apr 30th 2008 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/Apr 30th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/hp-creates-radical-memristor-technology-brains-explode/
