  • IBM to cool hot chips with tiny water pipes

    Scientists from the IBM Zurich Research Lab and the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin are working on a microchip that uses micropipes of water to cool itself.

  • IBM sets sights on faster, efficient "light" chips

    IBM has come up with a technology that could one day let different cores on a processor exchange signals with pulses of light, rather than electrons, a change that could lead to faster and far more energy efficient chips.

  • Ultra-low power chip sleeps a lot

    Researchers at the University of Michigan have designed chips that use 30,000 times less power in sleep mode and 10 per cent less in active mode than comparable processors, putting an end to overweight battery syndrome.

  • IBM introduces Power6 chip

    IBM on Monday introduced its Power6 microprocessors and a new generation of Unix-based servers to run on the chip.

  • Intel, IBM take green plunge with solar tech

    Intel entered the burgeoning clean-tech sector on Monday by creating SpectraWatt, a spinoff company that will manufacture solar cells, following IBM's latest foray into solar technology
