A new, very fast synthesis technique for the creation of high-quality, large-area Bernal (or AB) stacked bilayer graphene films has been developed by researchers at the University of California–Santa Barbara. The new technique will open up new possibilities in the fields of digital electronics and transparent conductors, according to the … [continued]
A promising, possible alternative to LED lighting has just emerged, thanks to research from the University of California–Santa Barbara. Bright, energy-efficient, high-power white light — just like LEDs provide — but in this case created via the utilization of a laser diode in combination with inorganic phosphors. LEDs have a … [continued]
Editor’s Update: I’ve added an extensive reader comment to bottom of this post. “The energy source for biofuels is the sun, through photosynthesis. The energy source for solar power is also the sun. Which is better?” This is the question posed by University of California – Santa Barbara Bren School of Environmental … [continued]
