HP Reports Memory Resistor Breakthrough

Posted by samzenpus on from the flip-the-switches dept.

andy1307 writes "Hewlett-Packard scientists on Thursday will report advances demonstrating significant progress in the design of memristors, or memory resistors. The researchers previously reported in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that they had devised a new method for storing and retrieving information from a vast three-dimensional array of memristors. The scheme could potentially free designers to stack thousands of switches on top of one another in a high-rise fashion, permitting a new class of ultra-dense computing devices even after two-dimensional scaling reaches fundamental limits."

    Apple does a lot more R&D than you have stated. They are responsible for FireWire, the Capacitive multitouch displays used in the iPhone, Altivec, etc. etc.

    Tell that to the rich American kid with a 4.0 GPA who got denied a scholarship in favor of a poor illegal immigrant with a 2.5

    Oh, and by "rich" I meant comparatively. Parent's make more than 60k, but he is still considered "rich" even though he has three other siblings in college that are being supported by the parents.
