Hybrid phase-change memristors lead to new computing possibilities

"combines 2 types of resistive switches used for memory: memristors and phase-change materials. 2-terminal memristor device drives 1 type of crystal to another type of crystal phase... both crystal phases have different resistance that can be stored as memory... stretching 2D material (placed precariously between 2 different crystal phases) in 1 direction and compressing it in another enhances performance by orders magnitude using little energy... fast, dense, efficient, low power home computer memory"
