Today's NPR Talk of the Nation Science Friday radio program discussed the recent Memristor advances for the non-Electrical Engineer: "The possibility of such a circuit element, known as the "memristor," was first described in 1971, but no one was able to find a device with the properties of that missing element. Now, a group of scientists at HP Labs has found that in nanoscale materials, the "memristance" property becomes easier to see. The finding could lead to lower power, instant-on computers, as well as novel types of circuitry. HP Senior Fellow Stanley Williams, one of the discoverers of the modern memristor, talks about the find and its potential applications." The 13 minute program is available online

Yeh, about 15 years ago I worked on a medium size DSP chip for HP before it split off into Agilent or whatever and long before Carly came on board.
I really liked working with those guys and I always wished I could have worked there in its heyday (early 90s and before). Of course I am saddened by the demise of its position, I thought they were pretty much out of the chip design game so I am not sure why they would even have a R/D lab anymore. Still it's their business to work on whatever interests them.

I believe that someone commented about how it was nice to see that HP was still a research company. They thought that it had turned into another Dell years ago. Kinda fits, doesn't it?
