"After decades spent thinking, arguing, hoping, and in the words of Turyshev, "making a career off of it," these scientists' interest in the Pioneer anomaly has, understandably, accumulated psychological baggage; in the case of many of them, a cloud of emotional investment has formed around the core of objective scientific inquiry. And clouds obscure things."

they allow the same device to serve as the processor and the memory
-
a memristor system would work far faster, and with far less energy, than a traditional computer.
-
Second, memristors can be much smaller than transistors.
