Needless to say, this could marginalise TiO2 memristors because the switches are several tens of times faster and have a much larger on/off ratio of resistances which implies a larger range of potential intermediate values.
Also Ge-Te is a metallic alloy which is known to be much more stable over long time periods, as CDRWs have shown.
A hypothetical microSD replacement could go well over 100GB with a much simple device structure on a single chip rather than dozens.

Wow, this is really taking off, I first learned of the Memristor about 2 years ago, and it just keeps getting better. Now the've modified this kind of "phase change" to make a switch... this has real potential.
