HP announced earlier this week that they will be working with Hynix to bring memristors to market availability.
Imagine a resistor that can change how much electricity it resists simply by the application of voltage to it. You could build circuits that change their optimal efficiency on the fly, memory chips that store 10x as much data using 1/10 as much power, and replace static processors with dynamic ones that change their circuitry based on most frequently executed commands (jk).
Sounds dull and techy, but this really is a big deal that will significantly improve computer tech over the next 5 years.
