That's why the management of SOR is doing the right thing and trying to commercialize the nanocube technology for printed memory market asap.
Btw, as you will see on the link above, HP and SanDisk's resistive random-access memory (RRAM) technology is based on the "memory resistor" concept, also called memristor. Memristor circuit concept has a history of decades as a theory. In 2008, researchers at HP Labs claimed to have proved memristor existed based on an analysis of a thin film of titanium dioxide.
HP started a RRAM project in 2010 by partnering with memory manucfaturer Hynix first but nothing came out in 5 years.
Now HP say that another RRAM program been in active development within SanDisk for seven or eight years. Now HP and SanDisk say that they will start marketing their products to enterprises in cloud infrastructure market. But they don't say when!
HP uses a passive two-terminal electrode that stores data using ions that change the electrical resistance, rather than electrons. This looks different than nanocube technology which Strategic Elements is working on.
The nanocube technology of Strategic Elements; "is a new type of resistive random access memory (RRAM) using tiny nanocubes made from cerium oxides (rare earth). The technology works by applying jolts of voltage to the nanocube memory cells, changing their state between resistive and conductive to create and store digital zeroes and ones (data)."
UNSW has spent over two years developing the technology and the nanocubes are ready to be incorporated onto a prototype memory chip. AAM* will engage an expert technical team to meet the challenge of incorporating the nanocubes technology into the electronic circuitry of a prototype memory chip.
AAM is aiming to produce a prototype with a single layer of nanocubes within the next 6 months. Information on technical achievements made during the development of the prototype will be released as required."
* AAM (Australian Advanced Materials) which is 100% owned by Strategic Elements. AAM holds a global licence from UNSW to use, develop and commercially exploit the technology and associated intellectual property rights. AAM was established a number of years ago by Strategic Elements to commercialise rare earth based technology developed by Australian research groups.
