Dateline May 1 (good thing it wasn't April 1...)

HP Labs said Wednesday that it has proved the existence of a new element in electrical engineering that was first described in a scientific paper 37 years ago.

Called the memristor, short for "memory resistor," it could make possible cell phones that don't lose memory, data centers that operate despite fluctuations in power, and computers that recognize and remember human faces and learn from experience.

[But can it carry a tune?...]
