Global Technology Outlook 2010 - Do not Distribute

2. “Today, innovation is about much more than new
products. It is about reinventing business processes
and building entirely new markets that meet
untapped customer needs.
Most important, as the Internet and globalization
widen the pool of new ideas, it's about selecting and
executing the right ideas and bringing them to
market in record time.”
2006………… 2009
A Radical Rethink of R&D
IBM has launched a major initiative to
capitalize on the changes. It's forming tieups
with governments, universities, and companies
globally to harness new ideas and pursue
promising avenues of research.

16. IBM demonstrates 100GHz graphene transistor
Feb 7th 2010 , IBM researchers announced that
they managed to open up a bandgap for
graphene-based field-effect transistors, but
they're now already back to show off what that's
made possible: a 100GHz graphene transistor.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/05/ibm_graphene_transistor/
Le graphène est un cristal bidimensionnel
(monoplan) carbone dont l'empilement constitue
le graphite. Les électrons se déplacent sur le
graphène à une vitesse de 1 000 km/sec, soit 30
fois la vitesse des électrons dans le silicium.
Grâce encore à ses propriétés de cristal
bidimensionnel, un transistor de graphène ne
s'échauffe pas.

17. DNA transistor: breakthrough fast sequencing & low cost
The sequence of 3 billion chemical units
("letters") that compose a person's genome
contains many of the clues for that person's
health care. A necessary step towards
unfolding those clues and usher the era of
personalized medicine is to be able to read
those letters, and to do so in fast and cheap
way.
Research challenge is to create a solid state
device, functionalized with addressable
electrodes, that reads the sequence of DNA
letters as a single DNA molecule translocates
through a pore of nanometer size in one day
and for less than $1000.
