In a quiet corner of Milton Keynes sits the head office of Cerulean, a company of 120 people focused on the business of designing and manufacturing quality control instrumentation and packaging test and measuring equipment. The company ...
One problem in developing more efficient organic LED light bulbs and displays for TVs and phones is that much of the light is polarized in one direction and thus trapped within the LED. University of Utah physicists believe they have solved ...
A new study has revealed that the stunning iridescent wings of the tropical blue Morpho butterfly could expand the range of innovative technologies. Scientific lessons learnt from these butterflies have already inspired designs of new ...
