memristors = instant boot-up !

Details of an entirely new kind of electronic device, which could make chips smaller and far more efficient, have been outlined by scientists.

  The new components, described by scientists at Hewlett-Packard, are known as "memristors".
 
Memristors were first proposed in 1971 by Professor Leon Chua, a scientist at the University of California, Berkeley.

 

They are the "fourth" basic building block of circuits, after capacitors, resistors and inductors.
