Biologically inspired high powered batteries.
Plastic solar cells prove their flexibility and help put the world on a sustainable energy path.
The next semi-conductor revolution is upon us.
Purpose-Built Solar Reading Light Designed at UC Santa Barbara.
Optical switches have the potential to reduce the energy required to switch data by factor of 10,000. Silicon photonics have the potential to reduce the energy require to transmit data on and off chips by a factor of ten or more. A recent collaboration with Intel led to the development of hybrid silicon lasers, which led to a prototype 50 Gbps high-speed optical data link, which is integrated onto silicon.
Shuji Nakamura and his team continue to expand the world of applications for his GaN based, high-efficiency, blue and green LEDs.
