In May 2019, Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) launched the ability for customers to take crash-consistent snapshots of all Amazon EBS volumes attached to an Amazon EC2 instance with a single API call. Now you can choose to take crash-consistent snapshots of a subset of Amazon EBS data volumes attached to an Amazon EC2 instance. You can also use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) to automate taking crash-consistent snapshots of the same subset of Amazon EBS volumes on a retention schedule defined by DLM policies.

Monopoly
It was monopoly that made Intel, just as it made IBM and Microsoft. It was IBM opening a chink in its monopoly armour by using an Intel processor and a Microsoft OS in the IBM PC that gave Intel and Microsoft the chance to form their own monopolies and give IBM the greatest set-back of …

Gradient doping improves triboelectric nano-generators
Graduated charge-confinement could be the key to much improved triboelectric nano-generators (TENGs), according to Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea, where that have fabricated working models. Triboelectric generators produce power through electrostatic induction when dissimilar insulating materials are brought together and parted (right, and far below). Two of the things that push back …

Five year life for perovskite solar cell, and a way to accelerate life testing
Princeton University is predicting five years, and maybe 30 years, of outdoor life from a Perovskite solar cell stack-up invented in its labs. The key is a 2D material barrier layer between the photon-absorbing perovskite layer and the hole transport layer. “While the idea of a 2D capping layer isn’t new, it is still considered …
