When people think solar power, they think blue photovoltaic cells, but thermal solar technology has been around for decades. Santiago Seaga, CEO of Abengoa Solar, talks about how thermal solar harvests the sun’s rays to turn water into steam, driving a turbine and creating electricity, even at night.

Charles Simonyi, Microsoft Former Chief Architect, Spaceman, Sees the Future of Software Development
Yesterday at the Technology Review’s annual summit on the MIT campus, Charles Simonyi, former chief architect Microsoft where, he lead the creation of Excel and Word, made the keynote speech.
He outlined a new approach to creating software, which is the business of his company Intentional Software. The system integrates “domain experts” with software developers. Here’s a report on ZDNet and another on CNET.
Charles Simonyi has accumulated quite a bit of wealth, Forbes put his net worth at $1 billion. He is one of the first space tourists, having paid $20 million for a two week trip on the International Space Station. His pal Martha Stewart accompanied him to Russia where she cooked a dinner to bring up in space for Charles and those lucky cosmonauts!
Doing the interview for Beet.TV here is Jason Pontin, editor and chief and publisher of Technology Review.
Speaking of Excel, it’s been in the news over the last couple of days with the discovery of a multiplication error. We did not ask Charles about his thoughts about it. Darn!
Great Times at MIT!
Hangin’ with Jason and Jai Singh (c), Editor-in-Chief of CNET’s News.com. Jai was Jason’s first boss way back in the InfoWorld days. Jai flew in from San Francisco for the conference.
Much more video to come: Great interviews with Kevin Rose, “our man in Paris” Tariq Krim of Netvibes and we “StumpledUpon” Garrett Camp! (The threesome above.) And others. Also, we swung by Forrester Research in Cambridge for the scoop on the HD formats war, the future of PC’s and more. Stay tuned to the purple channel!

Ethanol Powered Fuel Cells : DigInfo
On January - 6 - 2009
DigInfo – http://movie.diginfo.tv
Kyushu Institute of Technology research group proposes using ethanol as a direct fuel in next-generation fuel cells.
Ethanol powered fuel cells up to now have had a number of drawbacks including low catalytic performance, poor fuel cell efficiency, and a decrease in open voltage due to ethanol crossover when the ethanol concentration was increased to boost efficiency. The Kyushu University research group is proposing the use of a direct ethanol fuel cell to address these problems.
First, it is possible to boost the fuel cell performance while operating at room temperature by using oxidized nanoparticles as the anode catalyst. Next a composite catalyst is used for the cathode catalyst. This arrangement curbs the decrease in the open voltage caused by ethanol crossover, and makes it possible to use a highly concentrated ethanol solution.
Researchers are looking to develop a commercially feasible low-load fuel cell that uses ethanol, a renewable fuel, as a direct fuel.
