Supercomputer in Scotland tackles HIV
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and IBM's TJ Watson Research Centre will work together on a five-year research project that teams up simulations on a supercomputer and lab experiments to design drugs to fight HIV.
Nano switch brightens outlook for optical computers
IBM scientists have built the world’s smallest nanophotonic switch, about 100 times smaller than the cross section of a human hair. This marks another significant advance towards sending information inside a computer chip by using light pulses instead of electrons.
Companies find social responsibility a business plus
