IBM researchers develop world's smallest magnet

An international team of researchers working at IBMs' San Jose research facility announced recently that they had created the world's smallest magnet—it was made from a single atom. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes their achievement as the ultimate limit in reducing the size of magnetic storage media using the classical approach—they report that they were able to use the tiny magnet to store a si...

Commercial quantum-computing service is a world first

IBM has announced its plans to begin offering the world's first commercial universal quantum-computing service—called IBM Q, the system will be made available to those who wish to use it for a fee sometime later this year. The system will build on IBM's Quantum Experience, a software development platform for programmers and developers interested in designing and building actual quantum-based applications.

Five innovations that could change our lives in 2017

The annual 'IBM 5 in 5' has been unveiled by IBM – a list of innovations with the potential to change the way people work, live, and interact during the next five years. In 1609, Galileo invented the telescope and saw our cosmos in an entirely new way. He proved the theory that Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun, which until then was impossible to observe.

Tech allows blind runner to go solo

A specially designed app from IBM is helping a blind ultra-marathon runner to achieve his dream of competing in endurance races on his own. Simon Wheatcroft was born with the genetic degenerative eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which causes gradual deterioration of the retina and in Wheatcroft’s case, resulted in him losing his sight when he was 17.

Phase-change materials imitate functionality of neurons

IBM scientists have created randomly spiking neurons using phase-change materials to store and process data. This demonstration marks a significant step forward in the development of energy-efficient, ultra-dense integrated neuromorphic technologies for applications in cognitive computing. Inspired by the way the biological brain functions, scientists have theorised for decades that it should be possible to imitate the versatile computationa...

Lab-on-a-chip technology helps cancer detection

IBM scientists have developed a lab-on-a-chip technology that can, for the first time, separate biological particles at the nanoscale and could enable physicians to detect diseases such as cancer before symptoms appear. As reported today in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, the IBM team's results show size-based separation of bioparticles down to 20 nm in diameter, a scale that gives access to important particles such as DNA, viruses and ex...

Memory chip can store up to 3 bits per cell

For the first time, scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated reliably storing 3 bits of data per cell using a relatively memory technology known as phase-change memory (PCM). The current memory landscape spans from venerable DRAM to hard disk drives to ubiquitous flash. But in the last several years PCM has attracted the industry's attention as a potential universal memory technology based on its combination of read/write speed, enduranc...

Scientists invent a thermometer for the nanoscale

The IBM lab responsible for inventing the scanning tunneling microscope and the atomic force microscope has invented another critical tool for helping us understand the nanoworld. Accurately measuring the temperature of objects at the nanoscale has been challenging scientists for decades. Current techniques are not accurate and they typically generate artifacts, limiting their reliability.

Pepper the robot is supported by IBM technology

Pepper the robot sold out in just one minute when it was launched last year, with consumers keen to snap up a model of the emotion-reading companion. Now, with the help of IBM's Watson system, Pepper is set to get smarter than ever. Unlike functional robots, which are able to help with domestic chores such as dish washing or hoovering, Pepper is intended to interact with humans; this could involve greeting customers in a shop or operating se...
