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.

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 […]
Bio-friendly implantable electrodes monitor neural activity
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/bio-friendly-implantable-electrodes-monitor-neural-activity-2/Scientists at Lund University are developing implantable bio-friendly electrodes capable of capturing signals from single neurons in the brain over an extended period of time. According to a news release obtained by EurekAlert, there are several factors that must be considered for the electrodes to successfully record neuronal signals from the brain with decisive results. […]
