SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Solid-state lighting and the intensity as a near-term generator of electric power of appetite efficiencies will be the subject of a display by Julia Phillips, executive of the Physical, Chemical, and Nano Sciences Center at Sandia National Laboratories, at the 2010 AAAS annual meeting. The assembly runs Feb. 18-22 in San Diego, Calif.
In her talk, Phillips describes ways that solid-state lighting can improved implement existent appetite sources and identifies areas of indispensable nanotechnology investigate in the ongoing work to dive the mainstream adoption. She will plead how serve appetite potency in technologies such as solid-state lighting could support the republic in securing the appetite future.
"Efficiency is an critical halt square of the appetite nonplus as we wait for for appetite investigate to move us new technologies," Phillips said. "It"s not the usually piece, but it is an critical one. It"s comparatively low-hanging ripened offspring compared to finding total new appetite sources."
Sandia leads the $46 million Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) for solid-state lighting science, one of 46 saved by DOE"s Office of Science. These centers enroll the talents and skills of the really majority appropriate American scientists and engineers to residence stream elemental systematic roadblocks to U.S. appetite security.
Phillips pronounced lighting represents one of the biggest opportunities for efficiency. Currently, in between 75 to 95 percent of the appetite used in required lighting is wasted. Phillips pronounced majority forms of light-production furnish good amounts of feverishness that is squandered appetite and infrequently contingency be dissolute by cooling.
Lighting now consumes about twenty-two percent of U.S. physical phenomenon at a cost to consumers of about $50 billion per year. Though solid-state lighting is an rising record it has the intensity to revoke appetite expenditure for lighting by a cause of 3 to 6 times.
Julia Phillips" speak "Realizing the Promise of Solid-State Lighting: The Role of Nanotechnology" is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 20, as piece of the "Nanotechnology: Will Nanomaterials Revolutionize Energy Applications?" panel, that will be hold 8:30-11:30 a.m. in Room 1B of the San Diego Convention Center.
