According to analysts, a latest technology revealed by Hewlett-Packard might be a main game changer for computers and personal devices.

Last week, the news was released by HP labs on a study project called the "memristor," which is a resistor with memory.

It is said that a resistor tightens electricity course inside a circuit and is a chief element of almost all electrical devices used today.

The memristor was created to increase devices' memory capability, but the HP researchers found that it could also be used for logic computations.

Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group stated, "Because they are both processor and storage, they act much like synapses in the human brain. They look to be very much faster at tasks. Because of the memory aspect, they can 'learn' much better than today's systems".

This latest crossbreed device, which could be used in computers and tiny electronic devices, could modify the essential chip architecture.

It is said that Williams anticipates seeing memristors used for memory in devices in three years.

By the latter part of the decade, he also expects to see memristors used in chips for computation and storage.
