LED lights and monitors, and quality solar panels were born of a revolution in semiconductors that efficiently convert energy to light or vice versa. Now, next-generation semiconducting mate... Read more
Researchers at the University of Turku have developed a synthetic material based on the natural hackmanite mineral which produces broad spectrum white light in lamps. The hackmanite created... Read more
From vehicles to architectural lighting VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland develops novel LED light sources based on large, flexible and transparent substrates in collaboration with th... Read more
Researchers have developed a compound that can transform near-infrared light into broadband white-light, offering a cheap, efficient means to produce visible light. The emitted light is also... Read more
The toxic and expensive phosphors used widely in fluorescent lighting could be eliminated thanks to a new study conducted by a materials scientist at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).... Read more
In more than three years of work european scientists finally made future lighting technology ready to market. They developed flexible lighting foils that can be produced roll-to-roll – much... Read more
The researchers designed a family of materials that don’t include rare earths but instead are made out of copper iodide, which is an abundant compound The phase-out of traditional inca... Read more
A drawback to traditional grid-based lighting is that it’s expensive, requires extensive infrastructure, and is difficult to maintain over time. As we begin to take stock of the amount of en... Read more
