NEC Corporation today announced the discovery of a new nano carbon material, the "carbon nanobrush," a fibrous aggregate of single-walled carbon nanohorns. Moreover, NEC has become the first company in the world to manufacture the carbon nanobrush. Carbon nanohorns are horn-shaped nano carbon structures 2-5 nanometers (nm) in diameter and 40-50nm in length, which until now have been produced as radial spherical aggregates. The newly discovered carbon nanobrush is a uniquely shaped material. It is fibrous aggregates composed of radially-assembled graphene-based single-walled nanotubules, named here as fibrous aggregates of single-walled carbon nanohorns, whose structure resembles that of a round brush. "The 'carbon nanobrush' is a new nano carbon material that, like existing carbon nanohorns, has high water and solvent dispersity, and high adsorptivity, including substance adsorption, but has more than 10 times the electrical conductivity than existing carbon nanohorns, an important characteristic for industrial applications," said Dr. Sumio Iijima, Senior Research Fellow, NEC Corporation.

KPMG has announced plans to further increase its cognitive capabilities and apply IBM Watson cognitive computing technology to a range of its professional services offerings in Australia. The ‘Participation Agreement’, signed today between KPMG Australia and IBM Australia, extends on existing agreements in the USA and UK, with other member firms likely to follow. It includes a focus on audit and assurance services. KPMG intends to introduce cognitive technology to these and other offerings, in a move designed to further enhance its focus on quality and insights. Auditing is particularly suited to cognitive technology because of the increasing challenge to tackle immense volumes of structured and unstructured data related to a company’s financial and non-financial information. Cognitive technology’s exponential data analysis capabilities can transform how critical decisions are made and the level of assurance which can be provided. Duncan McLennan, KPMG’s National Managing Partner of Audit in Australia said:
