DOE Study Examines Age-Related Changes in LED Device Efficiency and Optical Performance
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently released a study investigating age-related changes in LED device efficiency and optical performance.
New Lighting System Helps Deer Avoid Vehicles at Night
Researchers with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Wildlife Services (WS) program recently applied for a patent (U.S. Patent Application No. 16/668,253) for a new vehicle-based lighting system to prevent deer-vehicle collisions during low-light conditions.
Researchers Convert Light to Sound to Detect Concealed Nanostructures
Researchers at the Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography (ARCNL) have produced a method of using light to induce high-frequency sound waves, which in turn are used to reveal the internal structure of opaque materials in very small structures such as semiconductors.
A New Spy Tool: Lamps
Researchers from Israeli’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Weizmann Institute of Science have discovered a new technique for long-distance eavesdropping on voice conversations by observing tiny vibrations these sounds make on the glass surface of a visible lamp.
Signify Demonstrates UV-C Effective Against SARS-CoV-2
The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred fresh interest in UV-C as a way to disinfect objects and surfaces. Signify and the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) at Boston University conducted research that demonstrates effectiveness of the company’s UV-C light sources on the inactivation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Study Measures Light Exposure and Its Effects on Sleep and Behavior in Nursing Care Center
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) recently released the results of a U.S. Department of Energy-funded study, Measuring Light Exposure and its Effects on Sleep and Behavior in Care Center Residents.
LRC Evaluates Hybrid UV Lighting System to Reduce Healthcare-Associated Infections
The Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is investigating light-based disinfection using short-wavelength light, ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to blue light (200 nm to 410 nm).
Lighting Research Center Partners With Eaton on 3D Printed LED Luminaires
Rensselaer’s Lighting Research Center has partnered with Eaton Corporation on a project to develop a complete additively manufactured, LED-integrated luminaire. Under funding from the United States Department of Energy, the project will address the main barriers to widespread adoption of additive manufacturing technology (also known as 3D printing) as applied to solid-state lighting.
Light Observations Suggest Universe May Not Be Flat But A Sphere
Observation data produced by the Planck Satellite Mission suggests the universe may not be flat, as popularly believed by scientists, but a sphere.
