A Harvard biology professor’s fascination with seafloor microbes has led to the development of a revolutionary, low-cost power system consuming garbage, compost, and other waste that could provide light for the developing world.
At the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2008, New Yorkers - and people around the World - will ring in the New Year under the glow of a brighter and more energy-efficient Times Square ball illuminated by cutting edge Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology.
A new study reports that the European optics sector grew by 12% last year, and predicts that the world photonics market will grow by 7.6% annually for the next eight years.
The market for organic electronics materials will be worth $4.9 billion in 2012 surging to $15.8 billion in 2015, according to a new report from NanoMarkets, an industry analyst firm based here.
LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors have made the leap into the mid range of automobiles now that they are being used for functional lighting on the Audi A4. In the new headlights on the Audi A4 the LEDs are providing high-visibility daytime running light and stylish good looks ¡V a successful combination of innovative headlight design and high levels of safety. This is an important first step toward the widespread use of LED technology in vehicle headlights.
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has developed a transparent white OLED with outstanding performance. The large-scale prototype is transparent either on or off. Under laboratory conditions it has achieved a luminous efficacy of more than 20 lm/W at a brightness of 1000 cd/m². This opens up possible applications such as partitions that are almost invisible by day and then provide a pleasant diffused light at night.
People troubled by depression usually experience their dark moods in an on-again, off-again fashion. In that respect, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) differs only in that the oscillations follow a seasonal schedule, with the depression usually starting in the fall and lasting through the spring. Lack of light is often blamed for SAD, but just how darker days cause depression in SAD sufferers is still in question, reports the January 2008 issue of the Harvard Health Letter.
Philips Solid-State Lighting Solutions, the new entity formed by Philips' acquisition of Color Kinetics, has completed the finishing touches and officially unveiled its new 50,000-square foot corporate headquarters in Burlington, Massachusetts - merging the principles of "green" design with innovative uses of its LED lighting technology throughout. As the leading global research & development center for Philips' entire LED luminaires business, the new space is both a testing ground and showplace for the future of light.
