THIS IS MEMRISTORRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Memristors are amazing. They can work with CMOS (your regular computer chips) and different scales, i.e. they can mix 100nm memristors with 45nm CMOS structures (intend to shrink to 5nm memristors with 45nm CMOS, as they are so awesome CMOS doesn’t really need to change any further to accommodate their awesomeness-imbuing powers), they can tolerate up to 20% failure rate. It’s damned near magic they way they work -- swapping oxygen atoms back and forth between a layer of TiO2 and TiO by changing voltage slighty, changing it’s resistive properties. The change is about .3nm thickness to either layer, depending on which way the voltage goes. And it will be much more efficient than regular transistor based computronics, you should be able to pull ten resistors out of a given design and replace them with one memristor. And as they’ll be able to pair 5nm memristors with 45nm CMOS, that means those ten resistors will actually hold enough space to put about 90 memristors. Holy crap, amirite? That’s a factor of 900X. Shittin your pants yet? This next decade is going to blow your mind.
