Cree rolls 'breakthrough' LED bulb

Update: Cree rolls 'breakthrough' LED bulb: "This is based on Cree's so-called TrueWhite Technology and remote phosphor technology.

The prototype bulb is dimmable and emits an incandescent-like color of 2700 K, with a CRI of at least 90, according to Cree. It delivers more than 800 lumens and consumes fewer than 10 watts and has been submitted for third party testing to validate the light distribution, lumen maintenance and performance."

Breakthrough promises $1.50 per gallon synthetic gasoline with no carbon emissions

Breakthrough promises $1.50 per gallon synthetic gasoline with no carbon emissions: "UK-based Cella Energy has developed a synthetic fuel that could lead to US$1.50 per gallon gasoline. Apart from promising a future transportation fuel with a stable price regardless of oil prices, the fuel is hydrogen based and produces no carbon emissions when burned. The technology is based on complex hydrides, and has been developed over a four year top secret program at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford. Early indications are that the fuel can be used in existing internal combustion engined vehicles without engine modification.

According to Stephen Voller CEO at Cella Energy, the technology was developed using advanced materials science, taking high energy materials and encapsulating them using a nanostructuring technique called coaxial electrospraying."
