Electronics' 'missing link' found

The memristors are so called because they have the ability to "remember" the amount of charge that has flowed through them after the power has been switched off.

This could allow researchers to build new kinds of computer memory that would would not require powering up.

Today, most PCs use dynamic random access memory (DRAM) which loses data when the power is turned off.

Sounds interesting, I just read it on /.

There is some thing I don't understand.
How does the Memresistor knows when the Power is switched off?
And how does the charge flown thorugh the memresistor help to do all those amazing things mentioned in the article.
Sorry but I am doubtful.

So it's "Flux & Charge", not "Voltage & Charge". I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't nail it.
