(PhysOrg.com) -- The technological world of the 21st century owes a tremendous amount to advances in electrical engineering, specifically, the ability to finely control the flow of electrical charges using increasingly small and complicated circuits. And while those electrical advances continue to race ahead, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are pushing circuitry forward in a different way, by replacing electricity with light.

Traditionally, a super-yacht is a vast, luxurious vessel where its opulence is only matched by its fuel consumption. However recently, the super wealthy have been making an attempt to show their green credentials by purchasing greener and more efficient ships. Sauter Carbon Offset Design (SCOD) have not set the standard by which all other green super-yachts will now be measured with the 42m Ocean Supremacy - the largest, greenest super-yacht in the world.
A group of researchers at MIT have figured out how to develop LED lights that achieve 230% efficiency.
The secretary general of the United Nations has unveiled a three-part plan for bringing sustainable energy to everyone in the world.
A team of University of California, San Diego researchers has built the smallest room-temperature nanolaser to date, as well as an even more startling device: a highly efficient, "thresholdless" laser that funnels all its photons into lasing, without any waste.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has announced that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will run with a beam energy of 4 TeV this year, 0.5 TeV higher than in 2010 and 2011.
