Memristor – The fictional circuit element
I went down the rabbit hole.<p>Best terminal branches I found are:<p>* HP created something they claimed was a memristor [1]<p>* there were thermodynamic arguments about why it wouldn&#x27;t work [2]<p>* HP discontinued the architecture based on the component [3]<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;information-technology&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;hp-labs-machine-dissolves-the-difference-between-disk-and-memory&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;information-technology&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;hp-la...</a><p>2. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;ftp&#x2F;arxiv&#x2F;papers&#x2F;1207&#x2F;1207.7319.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;ftp&#x2F;arxiv&#x2F;papers&#x2F;1207&#x2F;1207.7319.pdf</a><p>3. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2016&#x2F;11&#x2F;29&#x2F;hp_labs_delivered_machine_proof_of_concept_prototype_but_machine_product_is_no_more" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2016&#x2F;11&#x2F;29&#x2F;hp_labs_delivered_m...</a>
