IBM Research has released its annual “5 in 5” list, outlining five technologies that the company believes will be instrumental over the next five years. This year’s list focuses on security and AI, predicting that by 2023 we’ll have unhackable encryption, unbiased AI and mainstream quantum computers

Researchers have produced a new synthetic molecule that can target and kill five multidrug-resistant bacteria. This synthetic polymer was found to be non-toxic and could enable an entirely new classes of therapeutics to address the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
-
An international team of researchers, including a core group of IBM computer scientists, has successfully tested a machine learning algorithm that can accurately predict whether a person will develop psychosis by simply analyzing their speech patterns.
-
ScienceIBM and MIT recently launched a new collaborative research lab designed to propel breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence over the next decade. The deal involves a US$240 million dollar investment from IBM, one of the largest ever seen between a university and a private company.

When the universe was a few microseconds old, it was a soupy substance called quark-gluon plasma, exhibiting a host of unusual quantum effects previously only thought to occur just after the Big Bang. For the first time, IBM researchers have now observed a gravitational anomaly in earthly materials
-
IBM has unveiled its plans to create 5 nm chips. The company is ditching the standard FinFET architecture in favor of a new structure built with a stack of four nanosheets, allowing some 30 billion transistors to be packed onto a chip the size of a fingernail.
-
Having provided access to a quantum processor through the cloud for a year, IBM is revealing a new generation of processors. A 16-qubit processor will increase the processing power available through the cloud, while the second is twice as powerful again and designed for commercial applications.
-
To extend the range of delivery drones and help prevent packages from being pilfered, IBM has patented a new system that may one day allow unmanned aerial vehicles to make mid-air hand-offs to one another in an autonomous game of pass the parcel.
-
Having created the world’s smallest magnet, IBM has managed to store one bit of data in a single atom, in a breakthrough that could lead to storage devices that can hold 1,000 times more data in the same physical space.
-
This year, tax time could be a little less daunting thanks to Watson, IBM’s versatile AI. IBM and tax firm H&R Block will set the system loose on the insane amount of data involved in tax preparation, to sift out more deductions and make the whole process less horrible.
-
Since 2005, IBM has been releasing an annual list of five technological trends that it thinks will take off in the next five years. Given the emergence of AI and the Internet of Things, this year’s predictions are focused on these two areas.
