Seeing terahertz with megapixel CCD devices
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/seeing-terahertz-with-megapixel-ccd-devices-2/As IEEE Spectrum’s Alexander Hellemans points out, terahertz waves are difficult to create and detect. Indeed, this frequency band is squeezed in between the far infrared and very short wave radio frequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Nevertheless, a SwissFEL laser team led by Christoph Hauri at the Paul Scherrer Institute near Zurich used a common […]
Understanding sensor data and context
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-understanding-sensor-data-and-context/Toby McClean recently noted on LinkedIn Pulse that the value of sensor data is lost when each and every device maker or IoT system defines a new model of observation or measurement. “The value is decreased because third-parties are not able to build reusable algorithms, analytics and visualizations,” he opined. “It is difficult to have […]
Memory Interface Chipset From Rambus Meets Growing Demands Of Data Centers
https://issuu.com/eeweb/docs/11-2015_pulse_1_pages/29?e=7607911/31129626#new_tabAfter more than 25 years in those trenches, and in the memory business in particular, California’s Rambus, Inc. today finds itself in a better position than ever to demonstrate to the public sphere its longtime role as a memory innovator with a lot of experience in the industry. Though its existence, Rambus has played an […]
Perovskite memristor is just 5 nanometers thick
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/perovskite-memristor-is-just-5-nanometers-thick-2/Professors Jennifer Rupp and Markus Kubicek of ETH Zurich have built a memristor based on a slice of perovskite measuring just 5 nanometers thick. According to Science Daily, the component features three stable resistive states. Essentially, this means the device is capable of storing the 0 or 1 of a standard bit, and can also […]
Connected vehicles are still vulnerable to hacks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-connected-vehicles-are-still-vulnerable-to-hacks/Junko Yoshida, Chief International Correspondent at UBM Electronics, recently reported that the automotive industry is still “ill equipped” to protect connected vehicles from hackers. Indeed, according to a survey conducted by the Ponemon Institute, only 41 percent of developers agreed secure software was a priority for their companies, while 28 percent disagreed. “Even worse, 69 […]
Searching for life on Mars with spider silk sensors
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-searching-for-life-on-mars-with-spider-silk-sensors/Did you know that optical sensors made with spider silk could one day help scientists search for trace gases such as ammonia produced by biological processes on Mars? “The scientists hunting for life on Mars would like to be able to test for small amounts of ammonia,” reports Neil Savage of IEE Spectrum. “[These] might […]
Researchers eye graphene for next-gen memory chips
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/researchers-eye-graphene-for-next-gen-memory-chips-2/Stanford engineers have demonstrated a number of post-silicon memory materials and technologies based on graphene. According to Ramin Skibba of Stanford News, the materials are capable of storing significantly more data per square inch – all while sipping a fraction of the energy consumed by current memory chips.

This memory chip orbited the earth on March 23, 1965
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-this-memory-chip-orbited-the-earth-on-march-23-1965/Engadget’s Nathan Ingraham recently reported that a piece of RANAM (Random Access Non-Destructive Readout) from NASA’s Gemini 3 spacecraft is up for auction. The RANAM – containing 4096 bits of information – was a part of the first Gemini spacecraft on-board computer ever to fly on a manned mission. Image Credit: Heritage Auctions More specifically, […]

(NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced it has initiated an accelerated share repurchase program with Citibank, N.A. to repurchase an aggregate of approximately $100 million of its common stock, with an initial delivery of approximately 7,812,500 shares. “This share repurchase program showcases the confidence we have in our […]
Crossing the ReRAM bridge
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-crossing-the-reram-bridge/Writing for IEEE Spectrum, Alexander Hellemans notes that researchers have thus far produced two commercially promising types of memristors: electrochemical metallization memory (EMC) cells and valence change mechanism memory (VCM) cells. “In EMC cells, which have a copper electrode (called the active electrode), the copper atoms are oxidized—stripped of an electron—by the ‘write’ voltage,” he […]
