Roughly 20 percent of the electricity consumed worldwide is used to light homes, businesses, and other private and public spaces. Though this consumption represents a large drain on resources, it also presents a tremendous opportunity for savings. Improving the efficiency of commercially available light bulbs -- even a little -- could translate into dramatically lower energy usage if implemented widely. http://www.physorg.com/news158328538.html Physics Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:09:40 EST news158328538 A freak wave at sea is a terrifying sight. Seven stories tall, wildly unpredictable, and incredibly destructive, such waves have been known to emerge from calm waters and swallow ships whole. But rogue waves of light -- rare and explosive flare-ups that are mathematically similar to their oceanic counterparts -- have recently been tamed by a group of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). http://www.physorg.com/news155478110.html Physics Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:22:15 EST news155478110 (PhysOrg.com) -- Duke University and United States Army scientists have found that a cheap and nontoxic sunburn and diaper rash preventative can be made to produce brilliant light best suited to the human eye. http://www.physorg.com/news148830246.html Nanotechnology Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:44:06 EST news148830246 (PhysOrg.com) -- The latest bright idea in energy-efficient lighting for homes and offices uses big science in nano-small packages to dim the future Edison's light bulb. http://www.physorg.com/news135350493.html Physics Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:21:33 EST news135350493
