Given that the existence of memristors was first predicted by a professor at Berkeley (Leon Chua), yes I am surprised. Surely he had to have heard of them.

Memristors are a pretty niche topic. Until somebody made some, they were an obscure topic in circuit theory. Even now that they exist, they've yet to be commercialized. It makes sense for a practicing EE who may not follow the tech press all that closely to not know about them.

I studied EECS at Berkeley, but almost entirely just CS. I took maybe 1 circuits class. Even I have heard of memristors and Leon Chua.
