HP has (finally!) announced a collaboration, with Hynix Semiconductor of Korea, to bring Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) to commercial development:
The two companies will jointly develop new materials and process integration technology to transfer the memristor technology from research to commercial development in the form of Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM). Hynix will implement [...]
The 2010 Internet of Things Conference this year November 29 thru December 1, 2010 should be exciting, given the prolific spread and miniaturization of sensors over the past year. The theme is “Internet of Things for a Green Planet”, so get out your pollution sensors. Visit http://www.iot2010.org/ for full details, and for registration.

The NY Times has a good summary article on the emerging memory industry, with Rice University and PrivaTran, one of the early producers of the Rice 5nm silicon oxide switches, being put head to head with HP’s memristors and Intel, I.B.M., Numonyx and Samsungs phase change memory push:
H.P. has for several years been making [...]
The analog, threshold, and probabilistic computing event horizon inches ever closer to market… Lyric Semiconductor has released their “LEC™ for Flash Memory” [link]. Along with their other probabilistic focused processing products, they’re at the forefront of implementing an important layer for future memristor based circuits. As probabilistic math gets implemented in more products like [...]
An article on Intels roadmap for SSD shows theyre going for 600GB tops in their Postville SSD design, using a 34nm process… and sticking to MLC vs SLC.
First off is a refresh to the high performance X25-M range of SSDs. Currently available in 80GB and 160GB models, these will be replaced by a new [...]
The HP Labs team continues to experiment and refine their TiO2 fabrication techniques… Nanoletters has a new paper out by Qiangfei Xia, J. Joshua Yang, Wei Wu, Xuema Li and R. Stanley Williams on fabricating TiO2 crosspoint memristor arrays using selfaligned one step nanoimprint lithography:
[the] process simultaneously patterns the bottom electrode, switching material film [...]
