Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed electronic memory chips that can be bent and twisted without fracture. These flexible chips are fabricated with readily available and relatively inexpensive materials. According to the scientists, not only do the chips have a prominent physical attribute, but they also appear to possess "memristor-like" characteristics. A memristor, short for ‘memory resistor’, has a fascinating characteristic due to which it can ‘remember’ the amount of charge that has flowed through it.
