Are memristors real? I feel like I've been hearing about how memristors are going to revolutionize computing for as long as I've been paying attention (~10 years). And yet, they never arrive. I also recall some detractors who say it's all marketing and "true" memristors aren't going to be viable for a super long time. Can anyone from HN summarize what the deal with memristors is?
