Panasonic released the world's first device based on technology ReRAM

     Japanese Panasonic today announced that in August will begin shipping the world's first commercial computer product, working on technology-based memory ReRAM. As described in the company, we are talking about the range of microsensors environment MN101LR, which are designed for the installation and control of air, medical equipment and fire alarm systems. The company said that by using ReRAM new sensors will have a simpler design and will be much more productive in comparison with today's counterparts. ReRAM-chips consume less power compared to those used today memory chips NAND, but they can write to 10000 times faster. Use the new memory module is offered as a computer, and in consumer electronics - cameras, iPods, etc etc.

ReRAM - a type of data storage, non-erasable when power which has low power consumption. This technology has the potential to replace flash memory, which is currently used in mobile phones and MP3 players. ReRAM can also act as a universal medium - that is, memory that can behave as Flash, DRAM or hard drive. ReRAM consist of so-called memristor, which have a much greater capacity for storing information than the existing counterparts.

Memristor requires less energy to operate, they are faster and modern solid state drives can store information even when power is off. Memristor (short for English. "Memory resistor" - «memory resistor") has been proposed as the fourth fundamental element wiring professor at the University of California (Berkeley) by Leon Chua in 1971. and first implemented in practice, the developers of HP Labs in 2006.
