The memristor is finally discovered

32:26>> Oh my god. Nearly 40 years. Stanley Williams at um, Hullet Packard Labs. So that's HP Labs. I love these nature articles that are just like bombshell articles because the title is just a banger every single time. The missing memor found after it's nearly 40 years after Leon Chua postulated that this fourth passive element should exist. >> Yeah. Um Stanley Williams announces it in nature and he shows that there is a meister that he's created using titanium dioxide and platinum electrodes and it uses something called oxygen vacancy migration. >> I just want to note that this we're

33:07talking about 2008. >> Yeah. >> We were we were in high school. >> Mhm. >> Uh so it wasn't Isn't that crazy? >> It wasn't that long ago. >> It wasn't that long ago. No, we were in high school when the first memeister like when it went from theory to reality, >> right? ex and it's still at a research uh stage level. We're not talking about in end consumer products. >> Yeah. >> The iPhone came out a year before this. >> Yeah, that's crazy. >> Just to just to put it in time context. >> Wow. >> Which is >> that's a good way to Yeah, that's a good way to think about it. Yeah. I mean, we had an iPhone before we even knew that a memor was possible, [laughter] >> which is so crazy
