I wasn't sure where to put this. Someone just invented the 4th Passive Electronics Element. :scratch2:

It'll be interesting to find out how or even if this changes Audio circuits. Certainly, circuit design software has some changes to make.... :dunno:

From what I gathered from the article, it will allow computer memory to be more than just off and on. It could be off,mostly off, half on, mostly on, and full on. It would allow Moore's Law to continue for several more decades. Logan

I read this earlier this morning, and thought it was pretty cool what one man knew, finally came to fruits..

I didn't post because I didn't think there were any electron geeks around here :D

Is that anything like a flux capacitor?

Lets see here, we have Ohms for resistance, Farads for capacitance, Henrys for inductance. What's next? Bits for memsistance? correction --- Williams, 20 years from now, you will go to your electronic parts store and ask for a 20 gigawillie memristor
