A battery tester and cycler in the IBM Research-Almaden Battery Lab, where IBM researchers developed a cobalt- and nickel-free battery that relies on an iodine-based cathode. The researchers showed that the battery could have higher power density, lower flammability and much faster charging times than conventional Li-ion batteries.

In the next five years, we will advance materials manufacturing, enabling semiconductor manufacturers to improve the sustainability of their coveted products. Scientists will embrace a new approach to materials design that enables the tech industry to more quickly produce sustainable materials for the production of semiconductors and electronic devices.

The convergence of emerging technologies allows us to address the discovery process in a fundamentally new way. Once labelled promising but distant, quantum computers are developing steadily and show potential to simulate complex molecules on the fly, accurately and rapidly predicting the outcome of chemical reactions and helping us discover entirely new classes of materials.

The convergence of emerging technologies allows us to address the discovery process in a fundamentally new way. AI and quantum will increasingly combine with rapidly-advancing high-performance classical computers as a platform for scientific discovery.

IBM Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna (left) and Director of IBM Research Dario Gil are pictured with a 10-foot-tall and 6-foot-wide "super-fridge,” a dilution refrigerator larger than any commercially available. The “super-fridge” is being custom built by IBM to effectively support quantum systems as they scale to the thousands and eventually million-plus qubit systems of the future that will be capable of solving problems out of reach of today’s most powerful supercomputers (Credit: Connie Zhou for IBM)

IBM Quantum Hummingbird is a 65-qubit processor available on the IBM Cloud for members of the IBM Q Network. Quantum processors rely on the mathematics of elementary particles in order to expand computational capabilities, running quantum circuits rather than the logic circuits of digital computers.
