Cause of LED 'Efficiency Droop' Identified
July 30, 2013 Researchers have identified the mechanism behind a plague of LED light bulbs: a flaw called "efficiency droop" that causes LEDs to lose up to 20 percent of their efficiency as they are subjected to ... > full story -
Removing Complexity Layers from the Universe's Creation
July 26, 2013 Understanding complexity in the early universe may require combining simpler models to interpret cosmological observations. Complicated statistical behavior observed in complex systems such as early ... > full story -
