This allows multiple petabits of memory (1 petabit = 178TB) to be addressed in one square centimeter of space.
Given the sugar-cube reference earlier, and that nothing's 2D, much less tons of stacked circuits, I assume they mean one cubic centimeter. Taking that assumption, I point out this problem with that storage claim:
Heat. Good luck dissipating that little cube. Heat's one of the biggest reasons we don't have way higher power machines now, you just can't continually stack things together.

Memristors are completely powered off when not accessed, making heat scale entirely with access speed, not chip size.
Also, memristors are not stacked, they are deposited on a surface a layer at a time. This is a meaningful difference -- stacked chips are much harder to manufacture, and have much worse thermal conductivity than what is essentially a solid chunk of TiO2.
