Social Networks and Discovery (SaND): Showing Six Degrees of Separation
Date added: 2009-03-12
SaND combines social discovery and social networking into one platform, highlighting relationships between people by searching and analyzing a wealth of information and tags found in a variety of data sources from papers to patents and blog posts to social applications, Lotus Connections and more. This research technology does more than suggest that you should connect to someone; it has the ability to show underlying relationships and provide levels of context to how you may be connected to someone. You can also build applications such as unified search, recommendation and personalization systems, expertise locators, and more with this framework.

Privacy-aware MarketPlace: The Ultimate In Privacy Management
Date added: 2009-03-12
Privacy-aware MarketPlace is designed to provide total control over privacy settings on social networking sites. Based on privacy models and algorithms, this software takes advantage of the social graphs used by Facebook, Orkut, OpenSocial and other social networks to construct stronger privacy protection. This application lets users calculate their "Privacy Score," much like a credit score, and recommends privacy settings. We’ll show how you could resell a gift received from friends in your social network without embarrassing them or to search for a job without letting your current employer know about it of coworkers are in his network.

Highlight: Mobilizing Existing Web Sites
Date added: 2009-03-12
The mobile web is changing how we use the Internet and what kind of content we want or need to access online. Highlight gives people the ability to create mobile applications from existing web sites and deploy these personalized applications to mobile devices. Currently, most websites aren’t optimized for mobile devices and this technology makes it easier to navigate web sites on small screens without clutter or content that you just don’t need on-the-go..

IBM'S ATOMIC "CHICKENWIRE" FOR NANOELECTRONICS
Date added: 2008-03-06
The image on the left shows a single layer, or sheet of carbon molecules known as Graphene. The noise that occurs from electrical signals bouncing around in the material as a current is passed through it is greater as the device is made smaller and smaller, impeding the performance for nanoscale electronics. In the image on the right, the IBM scientists demonstrated for the first time that adding a second sheet of Graphene reduces the noise significantly, giving promise to this material for potential use in future nanoelectronics.

IBM Supercomputing Simulations Support Chip Breakthrough
Date added: 2007-02-26
Zurich, Switzerland, 26 February 2007—IBM (NYSE:IBM) researchers today announced an advancement in computer-based simulations that is helping to drive chip technologies to new heights of performance and function. As reported in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters, a team of scientists at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory for the first time used advanced supercomputer-based models to more deeply understand and master the complex behavior of a promising new material—hafnium dioxide—in silicon transistors, the fundamental building blocks of computer chips. Image of a typical model of hafnium silicates used in this study. A complete view is shown. The model contains more than 600 atoms and 5000 electrons. It is rendered in a so-called ball-and-stick graphical representation, where the balls represent atoms (silicon in orange, hafnium in blue and oxygen in red) and the sticks represent the chemical bonds. On the basis of these models, IBM researchers calculated the important electronic properties and behavior of hafnium silicate.
