Measuring Life’s Limits in the Ocean
Sea life may not lack water for survival, but marine organisms do need nutrients such as nitrate, phosphate, silicate and iron. Researchers, therefore, want an accurate, high-resolution profile of...
Getting Juiced
Sugar is sweet, but sometimes its use can lead to bitter results. Such is the case with fruit juice when unscrupulous suppliers use sugar solutions as a replacement for high-cost ingredients in juice...
Growth and Challenges in OLED Manufacturing
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are quickly becoming the next generation of small displays. Although the technology is still emerging, it has been used already in personal media displays such...
Managing Light to Increase Efficiency in LCDs
Consumers plan to purchase 72 million LCD TVs in 2007 and 98 million in 2008, when sales will surpass cathode-ray tube TV unit sales for the first time, according to the research firm DisplaySearch...
Manufacturing Large LCDs while Maintaining Yields
As thin-film transistor LCD panel makers produce increasingly larger televisions, fewer displays fit onto the glass substrate during the production process. Whereas fifteen 32-in.-wide displays fit...
Keeping Pace with the Global Display Industry
