Former IBM engineer and noted futurist#Thomas Frey#addressed a gathering of business leaders, entrepreneurs and community members on an issue he says is increasingly impacting the labor force:

A project at IBM is now aiming to have built transistors using carbon nanotubes ready to take over from silicon transistors soon after 2020.

In 1998, researchers at IBM made one of the first working carbon nanotube transistors. And now after more than a decade of research, IBM is the first major company to commit to getting the technology ready for commercialization.

We previously worked on it as a sandbox type of thing, says James Hannon, head of IBM s molecular assemblies and devices group.

Hannon led IBM s nanotube work before Haensch, who took over in 2011 after a career working on manufacturing conventional chips.

Wilfried joined with a silicon technology background and our focus really shifted. Haensch s team chose the target for commercialization based on the timetable of technical improvements the chip industry has mapped out to keep alive Moore s Law

This is the point IBM hopes nanotubes can step in. The most recent report from the microchip industry group the ITRS says the so-called five-nanometernode is due in 2019.

IBM has made recently chips with 10 000 nanotube transistors. Now it is working on a transistor design that could be built on the silicon wafers used in the industry today with minimal changes to existing design and manufacturing methods.

IBM s chosen design uses six nanotubes lined up in parallel to make a single transistor.

The IBM team has tested nanotube transistors with that design, but so far it hasn t found a way to position the nanotubes closely enough together,

says However, for now IBM s nanotube effort remains within its research labs, not its semiconductor business unit.

says IBM s Hannon. If nanotubes don t make it, there s little else that shows much potential to take over from silicon transistors in that time frame.

Although IBM hasn worked t out how to make nanotube transistors small enough for mass production, Mirta says it has made concrete steps,

Dr Jeanette Garcia, from IBM s Almaden Research center in San jose, stumbled upon the first new class of thermosets in many years when she accidentally left one of three components out of a reaction.

#IBM's new computer chip can think like a human brain IBM's latest brain-like computer chip may not be"smarter than a fifth-grader,

and physiology,"said study leader Dharmendra Modha, manager and lead researcher of the cognitive computing groupat IBM Research-Almaden in San jose, California.

In contrast, IBM's new chip architecture resembles that of a living brain. The chip is composed of computing cores that each contain 256 input lines

Building a brain IBM researchers aren't the only ones building computer chips that mimic the brain.

the IBM chip can simulate the same number of neurons with only a single chip,

but the new IBM system integrates both computation and memory on the same chip, which minimizes the time needed to transmit data,

called the IBM chip"a very impressive achievement."("Several of Boahen's colleagues on the Neurogrid project have gone on to work at IBM,

he said.)The IBM team was able to fit more transistors onto a single chip,

while making it very energy efficient, Boahen told Live Science. Greater energy efficiency means you could compute things directly on your phone instead of relying on cloud computing,

IBM created the chip as part of DARPA's Synapse program (short for Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics.

Still, the IBM chip is a far cry from a human brain, which contains about 86 trillion neurons and 100 trillion synapses."

#Can Apple And IBM Change Health care? Five Big Questions Today, at a glitzy press conference at IBM new Watson headquarters in Manhattan swank Silicon Alley, IBM IBM and Apple Apple announced that they are partnering with Japan Post,

which is among other things the largest health-and life-insurance company in Japan, to start a project that will provide ipads to millions of senior citizens with the aim of improving their health and their lives.

Apple and IBM chief executives Tim cook and Ginni Rometty were both present at the press conference, emphasizing its importance to both firms. ombined with Japan post we are going to build a service that not only can all be proud of

and teach them how to use a suite of IBM-designed applications focused around the areas of health, family, and community.

The app will remind patients to take their medicines (the fictional anecdote used by IBM executives to explain that used a woman who kept forgetting her blood pressure medicine

but the Japan Post effort differs in its scale Nishimuro said that the plan was to roll this out to millions and in its reliance on Apple and IBM technology.

an IBM spokesman said. There will be a limited roll out, and testing for functionality, before the project can move full tilt.

In the fictional case study IBM used to explain this effort to the press, the patient high blood pressure would mean that getting her to take her medicine more often would improve her life.

Obviously, Japan Post will be collecting huge amounts of data that, with IBM analytics, it will use to try to learn about how to keep people healthy.

It wasn clear what kind of data collection IBM, Apple, and Japan Post will be doing to prove that this works.

Apple and IBM say they are trying out a huge number of pilot studies, including one related to home health care that is being done by Express Scripts Express Scripts.

IBM and Apple deserve huge congratulations for the way they are taking on the problem of improving health care for seniors especially

Apple and IBM are moving into new territory here, and theye going to have to do something that is always hard for anyone,

#IBM sets new tape storage record For many people, tape memory is a dead technology found only on reel-to-reel computers in old 1960s movies.

and a new breakthrough by IBM Research and Fuji Film has produced a low-cost particulate magnetic tape with a record density of 123 billion bits of uncompressed data per square inch,

The new IBM tape has an areal density 110,000, 000 times greater than IBM s first tape drive,

IBM compares this to 220 million books that would need 2, 200 km (1, 367 mi) of bookshelf.

IBM sees the new tape technology as having applications in big data and cloud computing at a cost of pennies per gigabyte.

To counteract this, the Sunflower makes use of a hot water cooling system invented by the project's IBM collaborators.

and scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated now what may be an important step toward commercializing this next generation of computing technology.

"IBM has been a pioneer in the area of CMOS integrated silicon photonics for more than 12 years,

"said Bert Offrein, manager of the photonics group at IBM Research-Zurich.""In addition to the silicon technology advancements at the chip-level, novel system-level integration concepts are required also to fully profit from the new capabilities silicon photonics will bring,

Offrein and his IBM colleagues from Europe the United states and Japan instead proposed an integration scheme in which the silicon photonic chips are treated similarly to ordinary silicon processor chips

the IBM research lab Zurich (Switzerland) and the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) demonstrated a radically new approach to manipulate the light emission of quantum dots.

Last year, a system using IBM Watson AI technology, called The Knowledge Integration Toolkit (Knit),

IBM says Knit is automated now fully to work without human oversight. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the US is also working on technology

However, for one group of computer experts, better known as IBM, venturing into this foray is par fort the course.

IBM's new Linux mainframes SEATTLE--At Linuxcon, IBM launched Linuxone, a new pair of IBM mainframes along with Linux and open-source software and services.

which built on the IBM z13 mainframe and its z13 CPU, and its little brother, Rockhopper,

IBM's new Linuxone mainframes aren't only powerful, they're very affordable. IBM claims that Linuxone Emperor is capable of scaling up to 8, 000 virtual machines or tens of thousands of containers and that's more than any other single Linux system.

Linuxone Rockhopper is an entry-level mainframe. It's designed for clients and emerging markets seeking mainframe speed

On IBM benchmarks, a loaded Linuxone could perform 30-billion Representational State Transfer (RESTFUL) transactions a day using Node. js and Mongodb in Docker containers.

IBM also states that the Linuxone are the most secure Linux systems ever with advanced encryption features built into both the hardware and software to help keep customer data and transactions confidential and secure.

IBM has enabled key open source and industry software for Linuxone and IBM z Systems. This includes Apache Spark, Node. js, Mongodb, Mariadb, Postgresql and Chef.

IBM, in partnership with Marist College and Syracuse University's School of Information Studies will host clouds that provide developers access to a virtual IBM Linuxone at no cost.

IBM will also create a special cloud for independent software providers (ISVS) hosted at IBM sites in Dallas, Beijing,

Ross Mauri, IBM's General manager of z Systems said in a Linuxcon keynote speech, that Linuxone comes with a new financing model.

IBM will work with existing customers who want to move to the new elastic pricing model."
