Can some explain memristor technology to me in simple terms?

I haven't studied electronics in a long time, but I decided to give my two cents. Electrical current has a natural resistance when traveling a distance. Essentially, the force opposing the normal passage of an electrical current.

The term "memristance" is short for memory resistance. Memristance is simply the ability of any electronic device or component to remember the previous level of resistance. A "memristor" or memory resistor is the technology that does the work.

When you eliminate the electrical current, the memristor can still remember the amount of electrical resistance that was applied before and for how long. According to Hewlett Packard researchers, this technology is especially important in computer components. The memristor would allow these components to have an internal memory that would not be disrupted by powering down.

Leon Chua explained this: "You could leave all your Word files and spreadsheets open, turn off your computer, and go get a cup of coffee or go on vacation for two weeks. When you come back, you turn on your computer and everything is instantly on the screen exactly the way you left it. €?.

The memristor can hold digital or analog information without power constantly applied. It can also perform logic operations much more compactly then current systems. It is also able to act much like a neuron.It will be able to self program saving endless hours of work.

DARPA is funding military AI applications and they are going in my opinion to be available in consumer electronics within a few short computer generations. I believe this because they are easily and cheaply manufactured using current technologies.In 2013 they are scheduled for memory applications. Production of first products available to the public will be made by a collaboration of HP (the company that discovered a theory that applied to what they saw in the lab and then built chips using this concept) and a South Korean company that will mass produce memristors soon.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
