HP Advances Next-Gen Memory Technology 70
angry tapir writes "HP scientists have made a small breakthrough in the development of a next-generation memory technology called memristors, which some see as a potential replacement for today's widely used flash and DRAM technologies. In a paper to be published today in the journal Nanotechnology, scientists report that they have mapped out the basic chemistry and structure of what happens inside a memristor during its electrical operation."

If by "about" you mean "about ten times smaller than".

Much better article summarising this for the lay person (ie begins by explaining what memresitors are).
