Nakamura's work did not remain obscure for long. He left Japan in 1999 to join the University of California at Santa Barbara and last year won the $1.3 million Millennium Technology Prize for his work on LEDs. He is now researching zero-energy-loss LEDs, which would be close to 100% efficient. Today even the best LEDs lose some energy to heat. Many scientists feel LEDs are already approaching the limit of their efficiency, but it wouldn't be the first time Nakamura has defied the odds...
...European Union and Russia have all called for a peaceful solution to the standoff, but its outcome will have broad implications for Ukraine's role in world politics. Last month the U.S. Senate approved a bill providing support and funding for Ukraine's candidacy to join nato.

"He also knows that this log is stuffed with cash," he added, suggesting that money enticed...
...fees, the Society’s board thought of contacting other Harvard graduate schools. But according to Douglas, “seeing how the [School of Education] is a majority female school and one of the big draws of the Inn is the bar and not many girls will join a $350 organization just to drink...it just didn’t work out.” But HL Central intends to transform the barflies into studiers for the bar, replacing basement beer pong tables with offices on the second floor. “Lincoln’s Inn Society...
...renewals made, a relatively low amount of traffic for its size.Relocated staff and services from Littauer will go to Lamont’s first level, which will close this summer for the move. Numeric Data Services and Environmental Data Services, currently based in Littauer, will be relocated there to join other units of the Harvard College Library’s Social Sciences Program (SSP). “Instead of having that honeycombed partitioned look, it will have a more open and receptive feel,” Larsen Librarian of Harvard College Nancy Cline said of Lamont’s coming...
...undergrad telling a swarm of tourists that all of the buildings surrounding the Old Yard are freshman dorms—with two-and-a-half exceptions. Come next fall, however, that number may jump to three. The quirky half—better known as Massachusetts Hall—will join University Hall and Harvard Hall and, unfortunately, may cease to house first-year Harvard students. Following last summer’s transfer of control of Mass. Hall from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) to the University’s central administration, this coming September will be the first...
