IBM Nanotechnology Investment
International Business Machines (IBM) is to invest a large amount of money into developing nanotechnology concepts and researching the applications of nano machines. This was announced by Bloomberg Magazine days after the investment was officially announced by the company. The Nanotechnology research center in New York would be the institution receiving the finances to research the area and the state would also invest some 400 million dollars into the initiative. The project would be supported by Intel and Globalfoundies (Taiwan company) and the sides would be packaging some 4,4 billion dollars investment into the research of the potential use of micro machines.
IBM is currently the largest researcher of nano technologies. The chart above indicates the presence of companies in the US that constantly develop nano concepts and study the potential application of the technology. Working along with NASA on such projects, the experience of International Business Machines is undoubted and joining force with Intel means that the partnership might lead to quite successful results. The investment is not capped at only 4,4 billion dollars and the people from the fund management revealed that the parties have agreed to add up finances should there be any significant satisfactory research results that might enlighten the future use of nanotechnologies.
The investment would be mainly aimed at developing computer technologies using nano machines. This would ensure the development of super small computers and the interaction between different computer configurations and computerized systems would be easier. For example, such nanotechnology might be use for the creation of instant translators so language would not be a problem for people travelling across the world, also the technology might be used to payment cards, GPS systems etc. The aim is the creation of small and powerful enough computer processor that can maintain steady and continuous work as the standard processing devices.
Another aim (not officially announced) of the project is to put nanotechnology in use of medicine – even though still being a concept, the idea of putting nano machines into the bloodstream of a human being is an attractive opportunity to explore and develop cures against various diseases.
