News.com reports that IBM wants to start some Nano companies. Good, you need a player like IBM to push stuff along.
The group, part of the emerging-products organization inside IBM Microelectronics, will serve two main purposes. It will let Big Blue get a better view of the current state of nanotechnology research outside the company, and it could help a handful of companies get beyond the prototype stage, said Thomas Thies, director of physical sciences at IBM, speaking at the Nanotech Planet conference here Tuesday.
