#New LED light technology sheds light on the future of food LED growing lights, delivering sunlight whatever the weather.
New LED light technology is the key that makes it possible to build vertically integrated farms.
LED LIGHTS can be tuned to emit only a narrow wavelength of light they can be combined to create perfect lighting that provide light on the ideal spectrum for a plant s growth.
There is potential for these multifunctional techno-greenhouses built around LED grow lights to increase the quality of the food we eat
JEFF J MITCHELL/REUTERSA 2001 outbreak of foot and mouth disease led to the slaughter of huge numbers of sheep and cows.
This result could be the basis for next-generation flexible and transparent computing, better light-emitting diodes,
or LEDS, and solar technologies.""Heterojunctions are fundamental elements of electronic and photonic devices, "said senior author Xiaodong Xu, a UW assistant professor of materials science and engineering and of physics."
"Our experimental demonstration of such junctions between two-dimensional materials should enable new kinds of transistors, LEDS, nanolasers,
This led to a more than 90 percent reduction in power consumption compared with conventional FETS. The scientists and engineers detailed their findings in the 1 oct. issue of the journal Nature. his transistor represents a major breakthrough in the electronics and semiconductor industry
The scientists found that controlling irrigation using data from moisture sensors led to substantial reductions in both production time and crop losses.
#How LEDS Are Set to Revolutionize Hi-tech Greenhouse Farming It won't come as a surprise to discover that consumers all over the developed world are increasingly demanding seasonal vegetables all year round even
One obvious answer is to convert greenhouses from the traditional incandescent lighting usually high pressure sodium lamps to more energy-efficient LEDS.
but the industry has been slow to make this change because of the high initial cost of LEDS.
These guys have compared the life-cycle costs of traditional high pressure sodium lamps against those of LEDS for greenhouse lighting.
They calculate that the cumulative cost of high pressure sodium lamps surpasses that of LEDS after just seven years
and that after 16 years the cumulative cost of high pressure sodium lamps is more than double the equivalent cost of LEDS.
Although high pressure sodium lamps are individually cheaper than LEDS they have to be changed every year compared to every 19 years for LEDS.
And of course LEDS use considerably less electricity wasting little as heat. But the most interesting part of Singh and co s analysis is in the potential of LEDS to change the way that vegetables are grown.
High pressure sodium lamps emit light across the entire visible part of the spectrum and well into the infrared where much energy is lost as heat.
By contrast LEDS can be adjusted to emit light in very specific parts of the spectrum. Plant physiologists have known long that chlorophyll absorbs mainly in the blue green
That s easy with LEDS of course but impossible with sodium lampsat the same time various researchers have shown that flowering
LEDS give farmers greater flexibility at a lower cost and a smaller environmental footprint. These are surely goals worth aiming for r

The basis of this led to the production of the sensor cap for milk cartons.
where they lit up more than 300 LED streetlights at two different sites. Their plant power technology is also being used to power the company headquarters in Wageningen.
Freight Farms transforms shipping containers into self-contained farms that grow fresh produce using LEDS and hydroponics,
a finger-tap on the device was able to generate enough current to power 12 commercial LEDS.
Light emitting diodes (LEDS) are now everywhere from consumer electronics like smart phones to light bulbs for home lighting.
The key to its success in replicating a sunny sky uses nanostructured materials to scatter light from LEDS in the same way tiny particles scatter sunlight in the atmosphere so-called Rayleigh scattering.
Illuminating research Only recently has the full utility of LEDS been realized for general lighting. While red and green LEDS had been in commercial use for more than a decade,
the missing color for producing white light was blue. Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura cracked the blue conundrum in the early 1990s.
Now, thanks to their work, white light LEDS are ubiquitous. In recognition of this energy saving invention, they received the Nobel prize in Physics last year.
Take LEDS for example. Research in blue LEDS started more than 40 years ago at Radio Corporation of America,
but changes in the company funding structure stymied their development for two decades until last year Nobel prize winners solved the materials problem
During initial trials, Wang and his colleagues used a toy car with LED LIGHTS to demonstrate the concept.
the LED LIGHTS flashed on and off. The movement of electrons caused by friction was able to generate enough energy to power the lights
consequently, are of interest for use as organic LEDS (OLEDS). Within graphene, benzene rings are fused to form a honeycomb structure.

the researchers said: the color of fluorescence shifts into the highly desirable, blue spectral range and the capacity to transport electrons is improved substantially.
It also generates small amounts of electricity--in practice enough to drive a small fan, a sensor or a light-emitting diode.

In this particular case, LEDS emitting at a wavelength around 310 nm are used to stimulate health-promoting secondary metabolites in plants.
team used a toy car with LED LIGHTS. Engineers attached an electrode to the tires of the toy car
and watched the LED LIGHTS as the car was rolling forward and they flashed on and off as electrodes came with contact with the surface.
