Let's see RAMBUS try to patent this 
As students we all learned the 3 basic components: resistor, capacitor and inductor. In the 1970's the theoretical basis for a fourth arose, the memristor, but it wasn't actually demonstrated until 2008.
Today HP announced they are teaming with Korea's Hynix to produce ReRAM, a non-volatile memory device based on the memristor. Memristors are very interesting, and fast, little devils that work more like our brains synapses than conventional memory.
Advantages: stores much more using far less energy, doesn't lose charge, is stackable and is extremely radiation resistant. What's not to like? This is going to make for enormous memory cards in all applications, plus being radiation hard will get rid of one major worry from ionizing radiation. Lots of space based applications too.
HP says 3-5 years.

When I see parts with ReRAM coming out I'll believe it.
