IBM has released a series of predictions that they see as the five big new trends in tech for the next five years. These include programmable electricity meters, smart car sensors, smart shopping displays, phones as wallets and better nanotechnology techniques.
The world's smallest hard drives have already shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, but nanoscale computing may soon make that achievement look elephantine, say some of the stars of information technology.
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.
Hewlett-Packard researchers will unveil a major breakthrough in the field of nanotechnology, a milestone in the company's goal to build chips based on "molecular grids".
IBM researchers have created transistors out of carbon nanotubes that can outperform similar silicon transistors, a development that helps build the case that carbon may one day become a building block of computing.

Nanotechnology is constantly finding itself in the headlines. But are microscopic machines an inevitable part of our future, or just another hype-heavy get-rich-quick ruse?
HP Labs is leading a project to find new ways to boost silicon-based memory and processor technology far beyond its current limits.
A report by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Commerce in the US says the right investment in IT and biotech could have startling results.
New research shows how to make self-contained communicating computers the size of grains of salt.
The chipmaker is set to give an idea of what will power its chips in the future as it discusses nanotechnology at its developer conference next week.
