Ladies & Gentlemen! I give you - The Memristor.

The fourth circuit element. The first three being resistors, capacitors and inductors. HP labs has finally made a working physical model of the thing.

What's so special about this type of circuit? It remembers how much charge previously flowed through it, leading to applications like modeling and simulating brain behavior in hardware instead of software.
