Power grids could likely handle the surge of demand, but all that light would pollute dark zones nearby.
Light Pollution is a significant environmental issue and is spreading rapidly. The good news is that it is easy to fix - find out how here…
A new report from the Biodiversity Council reveals the disturbing effects of artificial light on
Australia’s nocturnal animals. Here’s how you can help wildlife at Christmas and all year round.
The science that wins the Nobel Prize in Physics each year can be hard to get your head around – but it often has real everyday implications.
With the help of thousands of citizen scientists, a new study measured exactly how much brighter night skies are getting every year.
The global semiconductor shortage is causing problems for Europe because it has mostly abandoned manufacturing them.
Our research identified three key lessons.
Halide perovskites are cheap, versatile and remarkably efficient as both solar cells and light emitters.
Often presented as one of the best ways to save energy, eco-efficiency often proves to be less effective than one might think.
Encouraging people to buy LED bulbs is not a long-term solution. We need lighting which is kind to the planet and our health.
A lighting revolution is underway across Africa that’s occurred largely without government or donor involvement.
Layering substances like graphene in new ways could help us to build quantum computers or transmit electricity over long distances.
LED lights can actually improve upon the sun and help grow plants in space. A Canadian team of researchers is helping to refine and perfect LED technology.
The CO2 we produce when we put up buildings is large and virtually unregulated.
That flicker in the corner of your eye isn’t your imagination.
New research shows the insects use the brightness of different stars to work out which direction to go.
The American Medical Association (AMA) issued guidelines for communities to reduce harmful effects of LED streetlights. A medical researcher explains what can go wrong.
There are loads of things you can do to cut your energy bills - and many don’t involve stumping up any cash up-front at all.
Flexible light-emitting screens mean you soon won’t need bulbs because your wallpaper – or even your furniture – will light up at the flick of a switch.
