Marketplace, i.e. smarter
planet

Text
Globalization and
Leverage

Balanced Research
Agenda



How We Look Ahead

Global Technology Outlook Global Innovation Outlook

 Identify emerging technology  Start a dialog about innovation,
trends significant to industry in business transformation and
the next 3 - 7 years societal progress
 Has a direct influence on IBM’s  Collaboration across a global
technical strategy ecosystem of experts
 GIO 4.0: security and society,
water and oceans

NANOSCIENCE LABORATORY

Scientists from IBM and ETH
Zurich will jointly conduct
research at the nano scale -
the lab is open for additional
partners


AGENDA

Nanoscience at IBM


DISEASE DIAGNOSTICS

One-step point-of-care-diagnostic
test, requires a pinhead amount of
blood to test for hundreds of
diseases, viruses and bacterias,
such as heart disease, breast
cancer and the Swine Flu

AQUASAR

Water-cooled supercomputer
that will directly repurpose
excess heat for ETH Zurich - it
will decrease the carbon footprint
of the system by up to 85%

FUTURE CHIPS

Understanding the charge
distribution at the atomic scale is
essential for building smaller,
faster and more energy-efficient
computing components
18

FUTURE STORAGE

Ultra sharp, diamond-like
carbon tip 3,000 times
more wear-resistant at
the nanoscale than silicon
has implications for
atomic imaging, probe-
based data storage 1 μm
19

FUTURE MANUFACTURING

A new technique that uses a tiny,
silicon tip to create patterns and
structures as small as 15
nanometers at greatly reduced
2 μm cost and complexity


Summary

• Open collaboration is essential in creating
innovation
• Our door is open for partnerships, join IBM and
ETH Zurich
• Join us in May 2011 for the grand opening of our
new nano lab - kai@zurich.ibm.com
