How exactly is a memristor not a state device?

And about journalistic coverage... you seem to be knowledgeable about these programs, so there's an opportunity for you :)

A lot of it is shrouded in secrecy I'm afraid, unless you're doing the research. I'm also very interested in memristors, I think it's a quantum leap forward for computing, in many respects. But there's very little information one can get out there. Would love to know where I can find out more.
I suggest you start with the Nature paper from the guys at HP[1]. Then move on to Leon Chua's original and later papers.

The top comment mentions DARPA research, but for those who are actually interested in the theory behind the memristor and its potential applications, here [1] is an excellent resource by the man who discovered the first physical memristor.

Furthermore, there is a huge amount of open access journal articles and wikipedia material on memristors. DARPA is nowhere close to the cutting edge, SK Hynix is already tooling ReRAM fabs for mass production.
