Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits.
IBM is tinkering with a new material that could drastically slash the costs of "drawing" circuits on semiconductors, and the stuff is a close relative to tennis shoe glue.
Researchers at Big Blue have devised a new 3D circuit design that uses two or more layers of transistors, stacked in the same way a baker would create a multilayered cake.
Lawyers for about 90 current and former residents of New York state filed suit against IBM on Thursday alleging that chemicals from an IBM plant have caused congenital heart defects in infants and kidney cancers in adults, and continue to cause problems.
Can scientists use the binary of biology, DNA, to grow carbon nanotubes into more efficient circuits? IBM thinks so.
Security software vendors may soon side with US government authorities and intentionally fail to report "certain spyware" to customers if ordered by a court to remain quiet, according to a survey of leading firms.
Processor powerhouses IBM and Intel are set to reveal their plans to use the 'strained silicon' technique to build faster, power-efficient chips--and maybe break free of Moore's Law.
IBM has developed a program that can automatically determine the best-size circuitry components for a given microprocessor design.
With a new electron microscope from IBM and Nion, semiconductor researchers can not only examine individual atoms, they can also look at the spaces between them.
Collaborating engineers from IBM, Sony and Toshiba have wrapped up the design for the inner workings of a mysterious new chip called the "Cell."
Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits.
IBM says building better microchips is kind of like baking a cake.
Researchers at Stanford and UC Berkeley have come up with a way to grow carbon nanotubes on silicon wafers and to test the nanotubes, which could help pave the way for carbon chips.
A breakthrough for using electron microscopes from IBM is allowing scientists to observe the secret life of atoms.
IBM and Infineon will jointly present a paper this week that demonstrates how MRAM, one of the leading candidates to replace flash memory in mobile phones, could be ready for commercial production by 2005.
