:00:18. > :00:28.pour that India and connect that to that. It's ready. I can change the
:00:28. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:49.That will take a bit of cleaning up. In the meantime, this week, Click
:00:49. > :00:53.looks to the future with the trip to Switzerland to see what
:00:54. > :00:57.technology giant IBM has been picking up in research labs where
:00:57. > :01:02.you can mix water with computer components without frying your
:01:02. > :01:07.chips. The biggest names of the Year face-off in the battle for
:01:08. > :01:14.gaining glory. And we learn how to pick up some good habits in West --
:01:14. > :01:19.Webscape. Welcome to Click. I N Spencer Kelly. Technology companies
:01:19. > :01:24.don't just have to be ahead of the game, they have to be ahead where
:01:24. > :01:29.the game is going to be in five or ten years' time. Have you ever
:01:29. > :01:34.wondered where all the ideas come from? We dispatched David Reed to a
:01:34. > :01:40.top secret location in Switzerland. It is not bad secret, it is outside
:01:40. > :01:44.Zurich. It is the IBM Research Laboratory. Technicians have been
:01:44. > :01:48.showing off their latest breakthroughs. To learn these
:01:48. > :01:54.secrets locked inside IBM's research lab, you would either need
:01:54. > :02:02.to steal through the undergrowth in the dead of night or be invited on
:02:02. > :02:07.a press trip. IBM was showing it all off. How to really hack of
:02:07. > :02:13.hackers, future feels and wet computers. Let's start there. They
:02:13. > :02:20.are pretty cool. Normally, computers and what to don't mix.
:02:20. > :02:25.However, water is a great coolant and with 2% of energy in the US
:02:25. > :02:34.Eton abided dissenters and 40 % of that wasted in air cooling, water
:02:34. > :02:41.is finding a new role. Water is a more efficient coolant than a year
:02:41. > :02:46.by some distance. This cooling system uses air, this, water. It is
:02:46. > :02:51.designed so water runs through tiny channels or holes edged into wood.
:02:51. > :02:57.It means of the air space that is currently the of for killing, you
:02:57. > :03:01.do not need it. We had miniaturised the cooler so it fits into the chip.
:03:01. > :03:06.You can stack as many chips as you want on top of each other. That
:03:06. > :03:11.increases the density by more than one million fold. It also increases
:03:11. > :03:15.the efficiency. That is the key, the driving factor. It means data
:03:15. > :03:20.centres will become more efficient and much smaller. The technology
:03:20. > :03:30.could trickle down so we could all have many high-performance
:03:30. > :03:30.
:03:30. > :03:35.computers tucked under our desks. - - mini. Something else getting the
:03:35. > :03:40.shrink treatment is the laboratory. There are times we're a quick blood
:03:40. > :03:45.sample is imperative or a tiny sample is all that is available.
:03:45. > :03:51.That is where this lap comes into its own. Touch a liquid to a narrow
:03:51. > :03:55.tube and it will crawl up it. It is called capillary attraction. Here,
:03:55. > :04:01.it is being used to send a sample of blood plasma on a winding
:04:01. > :04:07.journey for a variety of tests. The result? A laboratory which fits
:04:07. > :04:12.into a pen. Something that you can fit into your pocket. For example,
:04:12. > :04:16.a possible application would be a blood test for pre-natal babies
:04:17. > :04:26.where there is a sample available which is very small. The approach
:04:27. > :04:28.
:04:28. > :04:33.will save time and cost. Reagents are chemicals which test for a
:04:33. > :04:38.disease. Used with this in my school probe, the contest for
:04:38. > :04:43.cancer on the smallest of tissue samples. Pushed from one tube and
:04:43. > :04:52.sucked back up through another. It cuts costs, sure. More valuable
:04:52. > :04:57.still, it cuts the time it takes doctors to diagnose illnesses.
:04:57. > :05:05.From Lab on a chip to a stick to beat hackers with. Computers are
:05:05. > :05:10.prone to get infected with malware. This trusted information channel by
:05:10. > :05:16.patties your computer entirely so you can connect directly with banks
:05:16. > :05:20.online servers. The device is in operation. But make sure your money
:05:20. > :05:26.does not get directed into the wrong account. It is under the
:05:26. > :05:31.control of the present. The device has its own built in cryptographic
:05:31. > :05:39.capabilities which allow it to connect to the server itself. That
:05:39. > :05:43.way, the bank can always tell the device what to show, can always
:05:44. > :05:48.tell the engines but it is really a transaction that is wanted. If so,
:05:48. > :05:56.you press the green button. But not, you contact support staff because
:05:56. > :06:02.there might not be some software operating on your PC.
:06:02. > :06:06.Electric cars don't normally go as fast or as far as petrol cars. The
:06:06. > :06:10.planet is wheezing with polluting fumes and oil stocks are getting
:06:10. > :06:20.scarcer. There is the Grand Challenge of solving the issue of
:06:20. > :06:26.
:06:26. > :06:30.electric car mileage. -- grand challenge. This is the first time I
:06:30. > :06:37.have driven an electric car. I am making a mess of it. To compete
:06:37. > :06:43.with petrol, they must compete. -- they must improve. This battery can
:06:43. > :06:46.over 500 miles. Electric cars use lithium batteries. IBM is trying to
:06:46. > :06:52.make lithium last for ten times longer than the current charge.
:06:52. > :06:57.Others are working on this. The electric car race is of imminent.
:06:57. > :07:02.We started three years ago. We believe in this technology. We made
:07:02. > :07:07.the first step forward. Additional competition is only a sign that
:07:07. > :07:13.we're going the right way. This new type of battery is a completely
:07:13. > :07:19.different chemistry to the previous one. We need to solve many
:07:19. > :07:23.materials and problems to get the battery working in the right way.
:07:23. > :07:29.Another future fuel IBM is looking at is this photovoltaic system
:07:29. > :07:35.which concentrates the rays of the Sun, delivering three electrician -
:07:35. > :07:39.- electricity with no emissions. Much of the tech that IBM is
:07:39. > :07:44.showing is under development. They usually guard their secrets
:07:44. > :07:51.jealously. They were happy to show out of. It makes you wonder what
:07:51. > :07:55.they've got hidden in the basement. David Reed spilling the beans and
:07:55. > :08:01.IBM's not so top-secret research facility. What do something else

:12:00. > :12:03.series. The video games sequel has a lot to prove. Fans of the series
:12:03. > :12:08.will be familiar with the injured Curtly thought outer universe and
:12:08. > :12:13.with the mechanics of the game. If the player must exterminate aliens

:12:32. > :12:37.Arsenal and this version maintains that tradition, but this time
:12:37. > :12:43.around, those weapons belong to a new adversary. The Master Chief
