I came across a series of videos on Youtube of the 2008 UC Berkeley Synposium on memristors. As many of you know by now, Leon Chua published a seminal paper in 1971 on the missing basic circuit element, and in 1976, along with Sung-Mo Kang, he published another paper describing a large class of devices and systems they called memristive devices.

The HP Labs research team headed by Stan Williams recently unveiled a two-terminal titanium dioxide nanoscale device that exhibited memristor characteristics. The UC Berkeley symposium is an impressive collection of talks on memristors and memristive systems. Below a talk by Greg Snider from HP Labs.
