    Memristor: A Groundbreaking New Circuit

    - can "remember" how much current has passed through it.

    -Memristors will theoretically be cheaper and far faster than flash memory, andallow far greatermemory densities. They could also replace RAM chips as weknow them, so that, after you turn off your computer, it will remember exactlywhat it was doing when you turn it back on, and return to work instantly.

    RoboCar from ZMP one more step for AI:

    Automotive Intelligence

    This car is part of a serious car robotics platform study by aTokyo-based robotics company ZMP.

    they can communicate with each other, which will allowscientists of the future to figure out how to avoid traffic

    jams. These robot cars will probably have some otherterrific features like parking automatically and such.
