"neuromorphic memristors" let you build neural-nets in hardware. Memristor act as a sort of variable resistor based on how much current has flowed through them. The weights in neural networks can be stored as the memory effect in each memristor.

A few years back HP was researching memristors to produce neural net processors, but I never heard of anything coming from it.

It's a pretty clever way to deploy a neural net algorithm using very low power. Maybe HP was looking at the wrong market.
