BUILDING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (BPS) ARE EMERGING

Building Performance Standards (BPS) are emerging and more on the way. BPS are a critical policy tool designed to improve the energy efficiency and environmental sustainability of buildings. With buildings contributing significantly to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, BPS aim to drive change by setting performance benchmarks that existing and new buildings […]

GLOBAL MARKET FOR HUMANOID ROBOTS IS EXPECTED TO GROW

The global market for humanoid robots is expected to grow at an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 154% untill 2027, thanks to advancements in generative AI. Key developments include Agility Robotics’ “Digit,” Apptronik’s “Apollo,” and Tesla’s “Optimus,” which are anticipated to become commercially available between 2025 and 2027. These robots stand to benefit […]

WITH NEW REGULATIONS U.S. CONTROLS ON ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY EXPORTS

The U.S. has implemented stricter export controls targeting semiconductors, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) introduced new controls under the Interim Final Rule (IFR) in September, requiring special licenses for technologies like Gate All-Around Field-Effect Transistors (GAAFET) and specific quantum technologies. Foreign nationals from “Group D:1” and “Group D:5” […]

TOSHIBA HAS UNVEILED A TRANSPARENT TECHNOLOGY FOR LED AND SENSING

#TOSHIBA Corporation has unveiled a technology breakthrough in photoluminescence, a novel phosphor that delivers excellent solubility in polymers or organic solvents, where it is transparent and colorless under visible light, and that emits persistent red-light emissions under UV light, with excellent color purity and a luminescence six times that of current phosphors. These characteristics open […]

STREET LIGHTING MAY NO LONGER NEEDS POLES AFTER AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Some experts are already predicting significant reductions in street lighting as autonomous vehicles gain adoption. Advanced sensors in autonomous vehicles, such as #LiDAR don’t require visible light for sensing and navigation. Will this result in electric lines, telephone lines, and street lights all being removed from poles?

THE AVERAGE NIGHT SKY BECAME 9.6% BRIGHTER BETWEEN 2011 AND 2022

According to a recent study in Science, the average brightness of the night sky has increased by 9.6% between 2011 and 2022, which is a higher rate than expected by many experts. The challenge is that standard tools used for measuring light pollution, like weather satellites, are not good at detecting blue light emitted by […]

ANOTHER LED HORTICULTUREAL PROJECT STARTS AT SPACE STATION

Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are back on Earth now, but Chris Cassidy is still up there, looking after the latest plant experiment. This one involves petri dishes and an imaging system. NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy is still aboard the ISS. When he’s not space walking, he’s doing other things, including looking after the […]

RED LIGHT COULD IMPROVE OVER-40S’ EYESIGHT

Australian Associated Press Recently Wrote: Red Light Could Improve Over-40s’ Eyesight. A small LED torch that emits deep red light could help improve declining eyesight, scientists have said: A study by University College London, involving a small sample size of 24 people, has shown that staring at long wavelength light for three minutes every day […]
