The researchers have designed a bulb that is three times more energy efficient than today’s best offer and can cut lighting bills by 75 per cent.The bulbs are 12 times more efficient that conventional tungsten bulbs and three times more efficient than compact fluorescent “energy efficient” bulbs. They can burn for 100,000 hours and they illuminate instantly and can be dimmed, unlike energy efficient bulbs.” http://theinfochief.com/ Does this new development enhance the first great advance? We need these lights in production now! so we can grow greenhouse gardens in the darker part of the year, using the heat now wasted "a La American" from nuclear power plants in cooling towers - we are so goddamn dumb we deserve the hard times that have fallen on us - we waste where others profit, all in the name of the impossible to sustain American Dream - it has become a night-mare for most of us! “A £2 energy-saving lightbulb that lasts for 60 years has been developed by scientists at Cambridge University.

Jerry, does this indicate that LEDs will become

a: cheaper, and more efficient to make?

b: easier to make with more simple equipment? or the opposite?

I think it would better be conserved from use in food products and applied to LEDs and other, non food purposes!

Zinc is a dietary requirement. Zinc promotes cell reproduction and tissue growth, promotes blood clotting (necessary to stop bleeding in case of a laceration) and assists white blood cells in fighting infection... Oxide just means it's carrying an oxygen molecule. 90% of the fuel your body burns is straight oxygen (healthy people anyhow). So I find your consideration of zinc oxide as gross quite curious. Definitely a good pic as far as interesting news items go... Why ZnO gross? Zinc is a dietary requirement.

I cant believe i spend years studying device physics, still. so...when does it go on sale at fry's? omg this is like college all over again. I cant believe i spend years studying device physics, still.

so…when does it go on sale at fry’s?
