The OP seemed over his head and couldn't quite vocalize how the ReRAM
device behaves.

I tried surfing and ran into the hurdles that any real information is
locked behind the IEEE fiasco.

All other links seemed more like Popular Science reviews than facts.

Anyone know the V-I behavior of these device?

speaking of, can anybody clearly explain a memristor in about 3
sentences or less?

1: It's really cool.
2: It's phenomenal.
3: It's revolutionary.

There -- isn't that easy?

OK, you're going to get all anal retentive and tell me that you didn't
want the manager's overview. Fine. Here's my understanding of a
memristor:

It is a device that acts like a resistor whose resistance is proportional
to the integral of all of the current that has ever flowed through the it.

Oops. That's only one sentence. Sorry.
