Short article about Memristors

Greetings All memristor buffs,
Reading the messages I knew I had seen about 5 years ago an article
about memristors in Science News. I was right. The article doesn't
explain much but there is a picture of the devices. The link:

Since they have built the things why aren't we seeing them?

Good question! Hmm...
<http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?lang=en&site=us&KeyWords=memristor&x=0&y=0>

That didn't work. How about
<http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=memristor>

Dang! Lets go global:
<http://octopart.com/partsearch#search/requestData&q=memristor>
<http://www.findchips.com/avail?part=memristor>

I give up. ;-)

I did follow to a link about navels!

LONDON: Navels harbor an ecosystem of bacteria which is similar in
their biodiversity to the world's rainforests, a new study has claimed.

US researchers found 2,368 species of bacteria, 1,458 of which may be
new to science, after two years of literal navel gazing.

Just eight of these species were found in more than 70% of individuals
sampled. However, questions remain as to what factors govern which
species will be found on which people, the Daily Mail reported.

"The common, abundant species are from a relatively small number of
evolutionary lines, indicating that they have evolved traits that make
them at home on human skin," said Rob Dunn of North Carolina State
University . "However, we are still trying to figure out what determines
which of these species are found in a given person's belly button," he
said. "We've looked at sex, age, ethnicity and a number of other factors
— none of them are predictive of which species live in that person,"
Dunn added.

Dunn and his team swabbed more than 500 belly buttons over the past two
years, but concentrate on just 60 individuals for their study published
in the journal PLoS One.

The researchers launched their project in part to investigate claims
over recent years that the collection of organisms on human skin forms
our first line of defense against pathogens.

"We know that without these microbes our immune systems won't function
properly ," Dunn said.
