...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...

But the unwritten word behind the IPCC's dire predictions, and its source of hope, is if. If we can limit and later eliminate carbon emissions, if we can make a rapid transition to cleaner energy, if we help poorer nations adapt to the changes underway, then the worst consequences will be averted. But that can only happen if we act globally...
...into this year, I knew [O’Connor] was going to do great things,” senior tri-captain Max Meltzer said. “But as we have gone through the year, I guess I knew something special was going to happen. The sky was the limit.”At Oxford Academy in New York, O’Connor garnered four New York state championship titles and was a five-time sectional champion.
