Thirty-seven years ago, Leon Chua, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, theorised that symmetry demands that there should be a fourth fundamental circuit element, the "memristor" or memory resistor. Now HP thinks its memristor will improve memory and circuit design.
A research collaboration between La Trobe University's Centre for Technology Infusion (CTI), Peregrine Semiconductor Australia (PSA) and the CSIRO's Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) have come up with a new chip design they hope will be integrated into the world's largest radio telescope.
A potential replacement for Flash memory could be on sale within three years, with small start-up company Nanochip announcing a new device that will hold eight times as much data as flash memory, while having a cost per gigabyte of up to four times less.
AMD will soon begin selling its low-power, quad-core "Barcelona" Opteron processors.
Faced with unpleasant financial realities in the present, Intel is trying to shift attention to chip innovations coming in the future.

SAN and NAS are getting together for more efficient data storage.
Scientists at IBM Research have discovered a new way to get carbon nanotubes to emit light, a breakthrough that might one day lead to advances in fibre-optic technology.
A start-up company says it has developed a way to make fuel cells out of silicon, a change that potentially could increase the performance of cells and make them easier to manufacture.
IBM and Infineon will jointly present a paper this week that demonstrates how MRAM, one of the leading candidates to replace flash memory in mobile phones, could be ready for commercial production by 2005.
Japan is the home of hi-tech, but unfortunately most if it is incompatible with international standards. But things are changing, starting with 4G mobile phones.
Scientists at IBM Research have discovered a new way to get carbon nanotubes to emit light, a breakthrough that might one day lead to advances in fibre-optic technology.
Intel this year will focus on what it does best: Crank out chips and expand factory capacity, according to CEO Craig Barrett.
Chips in desktops and notebooks will start to go their separate ways in 2003 with the introduction of two new processor families that Intel will tout this week at its Developer Forum.
