IBM System Storage Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas

  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Quantum Confinement in 3D-Printed Porous Biosorbent Scaffolds for Selective Ion Sensing

PROBLEM: A 3D-printed sensor scaffold can place sensing regions in defined pore geometries, but each printed batch can vary in pore size and functionalization, shifting selectivity and response time. A sensor reading is only comparable across batches if the exact printed design and functionalization version behind it is preserved. Without versioned copies, a later sensor cannot be shown to match the one that was calibrated.

SOLUTION: Storage Copy Data Management would preserve versioned copies of the design and calibration record for quantum-confinement-tuned 3D-printed ion sensors, linking each pore geometry and functionalization step to its DFT prediction, its isotherm validation, and its regeneration history. The capability would support reproducibility checks and retention so a sensing result can be traced to its exact printed scaffold version.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — quantum confinement tunes band gaps in nanoscale semiconductors; 3D-printed porous scaffolds provide architected pore networks, print-then-functionalize; DFT predicts which surface groups bind which metal ions; biosorption follows R−COOH + M2+ ⇌ R−COOM+ + H+ with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Source: Hohenberg–Kohn 1964; Kohn–Sham 1965; standard biosorption textbooks.
