blog.wired.com — After 37 years, the existence of memristors, or memory resistors, has finally been verified by a group of researcher from HP Labs. Scientists says the discovery will pave the way for self-learning machines, more power efficient computers, and a possibly new forms of non-volatile memory.

i thought they detected large ones.. but the 'big bang' waves are the ones theyre really shooting for.... those will be ever so faint.. residual ripples in spacetime from the dawn of time... but no go on even the large waves yet? damn....

So, here's the real information instead of dumb fluffy descriptions:So, there (were) 3 passive electronic elements: Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor. Their behaviors are as follows:R=dV/dI-Resistance is the rate of change of voltage(V) to current(I).1/C=dV/dq-1/Capacitance is the rate of change of voltage (V) to electric charge (q)L=dphi/dq-Inductance (L) is the rate of change of magnetic flux (phi)Notice a pattern? We have change of voltage per current and per charge, but we only have change of magnetic flux for charge. What's missing is:M=dphi/dq-Memristance is the rate of change of magnetic flux to electric chargeAlso, applying some easy calculus, we have:V=IMWhich is similar to the one everyone knows:V=IRAnd the power formula:P=I^2 MWhich is similar to that of the resistor:P=I^2 RFor more info, you can read a paper on it at:<a class="user" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/2753819/MemristorThe-Missing-Circuit-Element">http://www.scribd.com/doc/2753819/MemristorThe-Mis ...</a>

Oops... got ahead of myself there...It should read thatL=dphi/dI-Inductance is the rate of change of magnetic flux to CURRENT, not charge.And the missing part is that we have change of magnetic flux and voltage per current, but only change of voltage per charge.

nope, no detections yet, but LIGO has just recently reached the sensitivity where they expect to start detecting signals. then begins the very complicated task of disentangling the signal from an antenna (LIGO itself) that can see point source signals from all directions at the same time. they'll be using pattern matching filters and all sorts of crazy s**t that's been in development since the project began.

How soon can they get this into working chips? Maybe we will see it in the ps4 (^_^)

That's a great comment.
