Scientists from IBM and Stanford University have recent detailed polymer discoveries that could lead to the development of new types of biodegradable, biocompatible plastics. The result of a multi-year research effort, the breakthrough is based on organocatalysis, specifically oxide-based catalysts that show activities rivaling the most active metal-based catalysts. Harnessing this activity could enable us to significantly increase the ability to recycle and reuse PET.

Automated tape libraries are still the standard for containing massive amounts of business data—think petabytes—and they are far cheaper than hard disk drives. Keeping up with exploding information reserves, IBM researchers have built a prototype tape that has a density of 29.5 billion bits per square inch, or about 39 times the density of industry-standard tape.
