Carbon capture and storage (CCS) science development takes place in a highly contested and politicised environment and cannot be seen isolated from the public debate on energy policies.
More than any other technology company, I.B.M. conducts research across a spectrum of fields -- systems design, software, semiconductors, data storage and materials science.
The rapid development of MnO2-based nanocomposites for high-performance supercapacitors in recent years has been reviewed in terms of the charge storage mechanism, materials science, and smart cell assembly.
But Noessel's favorite storage device in science fiction comes from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, where earthlings visit the alien Morbius.
After all, why spend money exploring the feasibility and safety of carbon storage if the science of global warming is in dispute?
Under the new setup, Mr. Thompson will guide the company's efforts in such promising new areas of growth as wireless communication, network storage systems, life sciences and Internet software.
The light-controlled resistive switching effect provides the potential for light-controlled nonvolatile memory device, which may be a promising developing trend of information science and storage technology.
