When it's built, the Square Kilometer Array will be the world's largest radio telescope. Then, when it goes online, it will spit out 1,000,000 terabytes of data each day—and IBM is trying to make a computer which can handle it.

The Squarer Kilometer Array—which will be made up of 15,000 small antennas...

Scientists at IBM Research today said they have achieved a major advance in quantum computing that will allow engineers to begin work on creating a full-scale quantum computer.

The breakthrough allowed scientists to reduce data error rates in elementary computations while maintaining the integrity...

IBM researchers have developed a prototype optical chip that can transfer data at 1Tbps (terabit per second), the equivalent of downloading 500 high-definition movies, using light pulses, the company said today.

The chip, called Holey Optochip, is a parallel optical transceiver consisting of both...

IBM has created 9nm transistors from carbon nanotubes, the same versatile material that the world's lightest material is constructed from and can also camouflage objects. In contrast, silicon has a theoretical limit of 10nm, and while transistor architectures are currently pushing 22nm, a presentation...

The technology world is always marching on, and a big push is to make things like computers and storage systems smaller, faster, and higher capacity. That can get to be very tricky though with processes used for microprocessors and other tech already working at the nanometer level. IBM has created a...

Google apparently sees a lot of value in IBM's patent portfolio, and Big Blue is apparently happy to sell them off: Google just bought 217 patents from IBM, following its two purchases totaling over two thousand patents last summer. The sales are reflected in the US patent and trademark office database,...

The headlines are unavoidable – in the world of mobile devices, everyone is suing everyone else. Lawsuits lead to counter lawsuits, companies band together to pool their patents. But most of it has stemmed from one simple fact: Google is younger and has far fewer patents than competitors like Apple,...

Since 2006, IBM has predicted what technological advances the next five years will bring as part of its "5 in 5" series, and this year the company says that by 2017 the technology to read brain impulses will have advanced to the point where you could conceivably have a baseball hat that reads your mind...

Once upon a time it was pretty easy for corporate IT departments to secure the smartphones of their employees. You simply limited them to choosing a Windows Mobile or Blackberry device, which had enterprise security features already built in.

Alas, Windows Mobile is now an artifact of history,...
