Cheap and efficient white light LEDs new design described in AIP's Journal of Applied Physics
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. view more (2009-04-08)
Better potential protection for footballers' ankles following UK research
Basic changes to the design of shin-guards could provide footballers with more protection for their ankles. With players being transferred for millions of pounds, and earning tens of thousands of pounds a week, they represent a huge investment for the clubs - and the players' most important assets are, of course, their legs. Now, Materials... view more... (2002-09-19)
