The device with brains [Electronics Memristors]

No one has yet suggested that the memristor might halt global warming but it can only be a matter of time. Ever since a team at Hewlett Packard Laboratories in California demonstrated the first one two years ago, there have been some very excited claims for the 'resistor-with-a-memory' including a way of saving energy in server farms, a way of extending Moore's Law and the route to new kinds of brain-type computers.
