IBM has opened its first quantum computing center outside the US at Ehningen in Germany. It marks a significant expansion of the company’s fleet of advanced, utility-scale quantum systems available to global users via the cloud.

In a world where technology is rapidly shaping the future, access to education and training programmes is crucial to expanding opportunity.

Thirty-seven per cent of UK business leaders believe encouraging women into decision-making positions is increasingly important in the era of artificial intelligence, according to research from IBM.

At the annual IBM Quantum Summit in New York, IBM introduced the 'IBM Quantum Heron,' a new series of utility-scale quantum processors.

Data breaches currently cost UK organisations an average of £3.4 million, but AI can be used to significantly reduce, according a new IBM Security Report.

A new report by IBM Security has revealed that the average cost of a data breach for UK businesses is £3.2m. 

IBM has announced a new breakthrough, published on the cover of the scientific journal Nature, demonstrating for the first time that quantum computers can produce accurate results at a scale of 100+ qubits reaching beyond leading classical approaches.

Research scientists have achieved a new world record in tape storage – their fifth since 2006. The new record of 201 Gb/in2 in areal density was achieved on a prototype sputtered magnetic tape developed by Sony Storage Media Solutions. The scientists presented the achievement today at the 28th Magnetic Recording Conference (TMRC 2017) here.

IBM, its Research Alliance partners Globalfoundries and Samsung, and equipment suppliers have developed an industry-first process to build silicon nanosheet transistors that will enable 5nm chips. The details of the process will be presented at the 2017 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits conference in Kyoto, Japan. In less than two years since developing a 7nm test node chip with 20 billion transistors, scientists have paved the way for 30 ...

IBM has announced it has successfully built and tested its most powerful universal quantum computing processors. The first new prototype processor will be the core for the first IBM Q early-access commercial systems. The first upgraded processor will be available for use by developers, researchers, and programmers to explore quantum computing using a real quantum processor at no cost via the IBM Cloud.

An international team of researchers working at IBMs' San Jose research facility announced recently that they had created the world's smallest magnet—it was made from a single atom. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes their achievement as the ultimate limit in reducing the size of magnetic storage media using the classical approach—they report that they were able to use the tiny magnet to store a si...

IBM has announced its plans to begin offering the world's first commercial universal quantum-computing service—called IBM Q, the system will be made available to those who wish to use it for a fee sometime later this year. The system will build on IBM's Quantum Experience, a software development platform for programmers and developers interested in designing and building actual quantum-based applications.

The annual 'IBM 5 in 5' has been unveiled by IBM – a list of innovations with the potential to change the way people work, live, and interact during the next five years. In 1609, Galileo invented the telescope and saw our cosmos in an entirely new way. He proved the theory that Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun, which until then was impossible to observe. 

A new collaboration between IBM and BMW Group has been announced through which the companies will work together to explore the role of Watson cognitive computing in personalising the driving experience and creating more intuitive driver support systems for cars of the future.

An array of services, industry offerings and capabilities have been announced by IBM to help enterprise clients, startups and developers drive digital transformation with the Internet of Things (IoT). With the number of connected devices skyrocketing, IBM is making IoT accessible to millions around the world. 

The global automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler has chosen IBM as its strategic partner for its digital transformation. IBM will act as the technology provider, consultant and development partner for a digital ecosystem to support Schaeffler in the integration of its mechatronic components, systems and machines into the rapidly expanding world of the IoT, as well as implementing market ready new business models based on digital services.

A specially designed app from IBM is helping a blind ultra-marathon runner to achieve his dream of competing in endurance races on his own. Simon Wheatcroft was born with the genetic degenerative eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which causes gradual deterioration of the retina and in Wheatcroft’s case, resulted in him losing his sight when he was 17.

IBM scientists have created randomly spiking neurons using phase-change materials to store and process data. This demonstration marks a significant step forward in the development of energy-efficient, ultra-dense integrated neuromorphic technologies for applications in cognitive computing. Inspired by the way the biological brain functions, scientists have theorised for decades that it should be possible to imitate the versatile computationa...

IBM scientists have developed a lab-on-a-chip technology that can, for the first time, separate biological particles at the nanoscale and could enable physicians to detect diseases such as cancer before symptoms appear. As reported today in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, the IBM team's results show size-based separation of bioparticles down to 20 nm in diameter, a scale that gives access to important particles such as DNA, viruses and ex...

For the first time, scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated reliably storing 3 bits of data per cell using a relatively memory technology known as phase-change memory (PCM). The current memory landscape spans from venerable DRAM to hard disk drives to ubiquitous flash. But in the last several years PCM has attracted the industry's attention as a potential universal memory technology based on its combination of read/write speed, enduranc...
