Using molecular electronics, Hewlett-Packard scientists recently revealed in the Journal
Nature that
memristor could radically change applications from nonvolatile RAM to realistic neural networks. The story was started four decades ago by IEEE Fellow and nonlinear-circuit theory experts Leon Chua. In 1971 scientific article, he postulated the existence of a fourth element called memory resistor based on a hypothetical device using mathematical relationships. To say the least, transistor and capacitors can reproduce a job of a single memristor. Furthermore, computers would not need to reboot as a memristor can remember voltages. The memristor was made possible experimentally due to materials and devices that are mere nanometers in size.
