Nantero

Nantero, Inc. was a Woburn, Massachusetts nanotechnology company founded in 2001 by Greg Schmergel, Thomas Rueckes and Brent Segal to commercialize NRAM, a high-density non-volatile random-access memory that stores bits in the physical position of carbon nanotubes deposited on a conventional CMOS substrate. Its business was semiconductor intellectual-property licensing, not software: it raised more than $40 million through a Schlumberger-backed Series D in 2013 and a further ~$31.5 million Series E in 2015 from investors including Charles River Ventures and Draper Fisher Jurvetson, licensed NRAM to Fujitsu Semiconductor in 2016, granted Lockheed Martin an exclusive government-applications license in 2008, and collaborated with imec and Nano-C, but shipped its technology to foundry partners as process IP and test wafers rather than as any product a developer could call. Nantero ceased operations in mid-to-late 2024; its assets were partially acquired by Micron Technology and the remainder sold at auction. It never published a developer portal, API, SDK, or machine-readable specification of any kind, and the nantero.com domain has since been re-registered by an unrelated party. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.

Nantero is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defunct, Semiconductors, Memory, and Nanotechnology.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/nantero: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: Nantero ceased operations in mid-to-late 2024 (assets partly to Micron, remainder auctioned) and nantero.com has
    since been re-registered by an unrelated party that answers HTTP 200 with the same 719,496-byte Thai gambling page for
    every path, so its /.well-known/ and /openapi.json 200s are a catch-all rather than any surface Nantero ever served.
