...representative, the new clock uses LED technology and has a lower energy consumption level than the old one, which adorned the building for six years. Foutter wrote in an e-mail that the new clock possesses better visibility in variable light conditions and from different angles. The light bulb will also need to be changed about once every five years, less frequently than the old clock’s bulb. Regardless of what students call its aesthetic failures, most of the students asked expressed appreciation for the clock’s utilitarian value. Quad residents surveyed said the clock...
...other commonly discussed LCD shortcoming is its contrast, or black level. LCD TVs have a backlight, an actual bulb shining behind it, not the case with plasmas and regular old tube TVs. Because of this always-on bulb, parts of a scene that were supposed to be pitch black used to look more like a charcoal gray, or even a deep blue. Bad news for film-noir lovers, for sure. Both TVs had tolerably good black levels, but side by side, the Sharp was better, exhibiting visibly higher contrast than the Sony...

...nanoparticle solvent--silicon "ink"--that would mean lower-cost printing of silicon nanoparticles on polymer sheets. That, in turn, would mean lower-cost solar energy because nanosize silicon is a more efficient converter of solar energy to electricity than previously used materials. It could also mean a nanoparticle light "bulb" that would outlive you. What's more, silicon (as in sand) is abundant and harmless. "It's brand-new technology," says InnovaLight CEO Conrad Burke, 39. "We're in a leading position. We're going to do something that has an impact on people's lives...
