The fourth element of eletrical engineering

This month there is an article on the Memristor in IEEE spectrum. Anyone who knows anything about electronics is familiar with the holy trinity of electrical engineering: the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor. In 1971, Leon Chua of UC Berkeley, predicted that there should be a fourth element: a memory resistor, or memristor. But no one knew how to build one. 37 years later, electronics have finally gotten small enough to create this device. Hewlett-Packard researchers revealed in the journal Nature (subscription required) that it was hiding within the electrical characteristics of nano-scale devices.
