An interesting article about the discovery of a new type of electrical device. Based on the equations relating charge and magnetism, Leon Chua deduced that the mathematics of electric circuits was missing an element (one that directly relates charge to magnetic flux) - he dubbed the missing element a memristor.
Now scientists believe they have found a physical device that has this effect ... at nanoscales. The device could have some amazing applications for computation.

I applaud Google's open policy - but look at the substantial areas of secrecy they still maintain:
- The % of revenue they share with content providers on their AdSense network.
- What advertisers are driving the most revenue through advertising on my site?
- Changes to the search ranking algorithm are mysterious to content providers.
- Reasons for content creators's sites getting blocked by Google.
