Long before the first iPad, there was A. T. Cross Company x IBM’s CrossPad. Released in 1998, this electronic notepad came with a special pen that contained a small radio transmitter capable of telling the pad what and where something is written.
You can’t use the second-generation Citizen CZ smartwatch like a desktop computer, but it does have IBM and NASA technology. More specifically, the CZ Smart YouQ application uses neural networks developed within the IBM Watson Studio workspace to learn and understand the wearer’s preferred timing of sleep and wake within 7-10 days.
The all-new IBM Osprey boasts the largest qubit count with 433 qubits, which more than triples the 127 qubits on the IBM Eagle processor introduced in 2021. This gives it the potential to run complex quantum computations far beyond the computational capability of any classical computer. In other words, the number of classical bits required to represent a state on the IBM Osprey processor far exceeds the total number of atoms in the known universe.
Since quantum computing has helped discover a new state of matter that exists in multiple dimensions, it would make sense that IBM scientists built the world’s largest cryogenic fridge for conducting such experiments. Called Project Goldeneye, this super-fridge is essentially a proof-of-concept for a dilution refrigerator that contains 1.7 cubic meters’ worth of experimental volume, which meanis it can cool a volume larger than three home kitchen refrigerators to temperatures colder than the outer space.
Sure, we have smartphones and tablets nowadays, but back in 1995, if you wanted to game or work on-the-go, IBM’s Palm Top PC 110 was the way to go. Co-developed with Ricoh, this handheld personal computer is powered by the Intel 80486SX processor and features a 4.7-inch dual-scan LCD capable of display 256 colors, 4MB of RAM, 260MB hard drive, and even a Compact Flash card slot for external storage.
IBM and ocean research non-profit ProMare announced this week that the Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS400) has officially started its transatlantic crossing journey in international waters. There is no human captain or onboard crew, as it utilizes artificial intelligence and energy from the sun to traverse the waters. The ship works in tandem with scientists and other autonomous vessels, providing a flexible and cost-effective platform for deepening understanding of critical issues such as climate change.
IBM Research officially revealed the world’s first chip with 2 nanometer (nm) nanosheet technology, paving the way for the future of semiconductors. Many know that by increasing the number of transistors per chip, they can become smaller, faster, more reliable, and more efficient. This breakthrough 2 nm design showcases the advanced scaling of semiconductors using IBM’s nanosheet technology, which enables the 2 nm chip to fit up to 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip.
