Using Sun's Energy to Split Water Means Solar Power All Night

phorm writes "Reuters is carrying an article about a recent MIT development which may pave the way for solar-energy to be collected for use in low-input periods. According to Reuters, the discovery of the a new catalyst for separating hydrogen+oxygen from water requires only 10% of the electricity of current methods. This would allow storage-cells to function as a form of battery for other forms of energy-collection, such as solar panels. The new method is also much safer (and likely environmentally friendly) than current methods, which require the use of a dangerously caustic environment, and specialized storage containers." sanjosanjo points out coverage of the process at EE Times, which features the MIT group's press release.

Introduction to IP Storage: Overview, Methods and Advantages of the iSCSI (Internet SCSI) Protocol

iSCSI, the acronym for Internet SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), is an Internet Protocol (IP) - based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Designed to carry SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfer over networks and manage storage needs over long distances. The iSCSI protocol is one of the key technologies expected to continue to push the rapid development of the Storage Area Network (SAN) market, by increasing the capabilities and performance of storage data transmission, while contributing to the declining cost and expense of storage technologies. Previously, SAN implementations required Fibre Channel (FC) technology and its costly infrastructure of training, support, and proprietary components.

New Nanowire-Based Memory Could Beef Up Information Storage

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have created a type of nanowire-based information storage device that is capable of storing three bit values rather than the usual two—that is, "0," "1," and "2" instead of just "0" and "1." This ability could lead to a new generation of high-capacity information storage for electronic devices.

Newegg Defies New York Sales Tax Law

JagsLive informs us that the electronics retailer Newegg.com is defying New York lawmakers; it has suddenly stopped collecting sales tax from New York online shoppers. The "Amazon tax," which went into effect June 1, requires online merchants to collect sales tax if they have any affiliates in the state. Amazon is complying but has sued the state on constitutional grounds. Overstock.com dropped all of its New York affiliates and then joined the Amazon lawsuit. Newegg started out complying with the law on June 1, but stopped collecting taxes for New York on August 21. From Newegg's letter to its customers: "After careful review and consideration, we are pleased to inform you that we have stopped collecting New York sales tax, effective August 21, 2008," reads an email the company tossed at customers late last week, including at least one l

Nintendo Investigating Holographic Storage

If a recent patent filing is indicative of Nintendo's near-future plans, a truly remarkable solution to the Wii's storage problem could be on the way. The patent, filed in conjunction with Inphase Technologies, is for a holographic storage system that could revolutionize console data storage. Holographic storage works by splitting a laser into two beams - the signal beam, and the reference beam. The signal beam has data encoded onto it by a light modulator, and is then reunited with the reference beam; the combined beams then write the data to a photosensitive material - and the data is stored! The beams read and write at specific light angles, wavelengths, and positions, which essentially make up the data's physical address on the storage medium.
