Although new memory solutions pop up on a regular basis, this one,
based on titanium dioxide, seems new to me:

A team of Hewlett-Packard scientists reported Wednesday in the science
journal Nature that they have designed a simple circuit element they believe
will enable tiny powerful computers that could imitate biological functions.

The device, called a memristor, could make it possible to build extremely
dense computer memory chips that use far less power than today\u2019s DRAM
memory chips, which are rapidly reaching the limit in how much smaller they
can be made.
