 The switch from gasoline to electricity as the primary power source for vehicles stands to be one of the most important technology shifts of the first half of the 21st century. Recognizing this need, scientists at IBM Research-Almaden started the Battery 500 Project in 2009 to develop a Lithium-Air battery that could travel 500 miles on a single charge. Leveraging IBM's leadership across science and technology in chemistry, physics, nanotechnology and supercomputing modeling in both its Almaden and Zurich laboratories, this research is also done in conjunction with the other Battery 500 Project collaborators, including national laboratories. |

IBM's building the Ultimate Computer to trace Universe's origin
In 2016, researchers at IBM will begin their
work on what will essentially be known to the world as the ultimate
computer! And, they will be using it for a reason almost matching up to
its ultimate status - going back in time to trace the origin of the
Universe, which happened roughly 13 billion years ago, reports Daily Mail.
The computer, it is being reported will go through radio waves from the
Internet, which will help it trace the origin of the Universe, taking
in twice the information, each day as the Internet, in the process. To
give our readers an insight into the quantity of data being discussed
here - The computer IBM's working can can process more than an exabyte
of data, each day.
