Osram, in partnership with BASF, has reached two major milestones in their development of OLED lighting. They've developed an OLED that's able to yield 60 lumens per watt , a much greater efficiency than conventional bulbs; and new OLED meets the international Energy Star SSL Standard for color requirements, a first for this lighting technology.
The purpose of the Petition Project is to demonstrate that the claim of “settled science” and an overwhelming “consensus” in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming and consequent climatological damage is wrong. No such consensus or settled science exists.
Considering that many of its higher profile vehicles really suck fuel like there’s no tomorrow, you may not think that the US military concerned itself much with reducing fuel usage, but based on a recent announcement that’s apparently not the case.
EVEN if we turn to clean energy to reduce carbon emissions, the planet might carry on warming anyway due to the heat released into the environment by our ever-increasing consumption of energy.
Whole Foods said its canola oil-powered generator is just the latest in its long-standing mission to become as eco-friendly as possible. a fuel cell powers a Whole Foods store in Connecticut, and the same technology will be used at a store scheduled to open next year, and a wind turbine is expected to be installed at a Whole Foods seafood facility.
A new fossil discovery provides clues as to how turtles came to have shells.
The idea seemed too crazy to Rod Simmons, a measured, careful field botanist. Naturalists in Arlington County couldn't find any acorns. None. No hickory nuts, either. Then he went out to look for himself. He came up with nothing. Nothing crunched underfoot. Nothing hit him on the head.
The first comprehensive “inventory” of sea and land animals around a group of Antarctic islands reveals a region that is rich in biodiversity and has more species than the Galapagos. The study provides an important benchmark to monitor how they will respond to future environmental change.
Venice suffered its worst flooding in 22 years as water in the Italian city rose to more than 1.5 metres (five feet) deep before beginning to recede.
There has never been a more important time to invest in green technologies, yet many of us believe these efforts are doomed to failure. What nonsense, according to The Guardian's Chris Goodall
The Irish government has announced radical plans to introduce more than 250,000 electric cars onto the nation’s roads by 2020, a staggering ten percent of the total vehicles in the country.
Photographer Rob Jan says: "Strewth. Found this little domestic scene about ten feet [3.05 meters ] in the air under the house eaves. The picture is about four times the actual size."
Brazil's Amazon jungles, known as the lungs of the world, lost almost 12,000 square kilometres (4,800 sq. miles) in just 12 months, a rise of almost 4.0 percent, new figures showed Friday.
Tiny generators turn the pulses of energy from all forms of human movement into electricity. The beating of a patient's heart, the shudder of a tube train and the pounding of thousands of commuters' feet on crowded platforms are being exploited as new sources of power.
... and decided that the Earth is cooling.In fact, the opposite is happening: almost every day, new peer-reviewed scientific reports are published showing that the Earth is heating up fast due to increased use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and bad agricultural practices – all of which spew global warming gases into the atmosphere.
For an idea of the scope, look for the airplane's shadow in the picture.
