Memristors. Could they imrove the quality of digital sensors?

This news is about a month old, but I just heard about it on the radio this morning, so I googled it and found this Wired news article. After reading through the article it sounds like this could have big positive implications for digital camera sensors. It seems to me that it could bring them closer to the dynamic range of both brightness and tonal range of the human eye, because the sensor wouldn't have to rely on the restrictive on or off state choice.
