The Berkeley researchers worked with a perovskite-type ceramic copper oxide called BSCCO (pronounced bis-ko) because it contains bismuth, strontium, and calcium in addition to copper and oxygen. They found Quasi-particles are states of electron excitation that collectively act like a free electron, with energy and angular momentum. D-waves are a function of the angular momentum of the quasi-particles. According to theory, impurity atoms create quasi-particle scattering resonances with characteristic spatial and spectroscopic signatures click here .

Geneva -- The ITU announces that its Telecommunication Standardization Sector has reached agreement on new global standards for equipment and management of the next generation optical network. The new standards support carrier-grade ultra-high capacity transport networks capable of supporting fully transparent wavelength services while still allowing switching at the OTN service rates of 2.5, 10, and 40 Gigabits per second and up, hard drives Maximum bandwidth in future years to reach 600 Mbits/sec and will have similar performance as running your computer system using a floppy drive.

A study by Forrester Research found that in 1996, 25 percent of information technology spending was on storage, while 75 percent went to servers. In 1999, the division was 50-50. By 2003, the positions are expected to be reversed, with storage accounting for 75 percent of spending and servers for 25 percent.

"The margins in storage are a lot higher than for servers," said John Roy, an analyst at Merrill Lynch, New York.
