It’s a massive step forwards. It’s an analogue component that has a memory of its history. When you push current through it one way the resistance decreases, and when pushed the other it increases. In this respect it shares some interesting properties with neural synapses.
I don’t know enough to properly explain it, read the article
Uses:
Solid state memory as fast as ram
Better & smaller transistors
Analogue computing
Neural network on a chip
Huzzah! Yet again man discovers that he doesn’t know everything, that there are still fundamental scientific advancements to be made. Like a world that keeps on expanding every time you think you have the entirety mapped to the very edges. Exciting stuff…
