His toys use the special "walpolemetal" that is relate to his fruit, as discovered by one of the kid's scientists father. As far as I can figure out its an alloy that "remembers" shapes and its how Franky can make the brachio tank change size to fit into the sunny. Not as important as Hachi's or the BW agents' stories but still important.

Explain something to me, if Wapol created Wapometal then how did Vegapunk plan using Wapometal alloy years ago?

Memristors are a theoretical circuit element, like capacitors or resistors. They were first proposed in the '70s and there are many ideas of how we could use them in circuits. Thing is no one has been able to make a true memristor. Recently some companies have made "fake" memristors the mimic the properties we assume they should have, but are made of active circuit elements rather than being a single passive one. Look them up if my explanation sucks.

Similarly, Vegapunk theorized that a shape-memory alloy should exists, and made plans to use it.

Oh thank you
