Wednesday, April 11, 2018 WHAT: Shuji Nakamura, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing energy-efficient LED bulbs, will be presented with an honorary doctoral degree from UMass Lowell by Chancellor Jacquie Moloney before delivering the university’s annual Tripathy Endowed Memorial Lecture. LED bulbs emit bright white light that saves energy by producing light approximately 90 percent more efficiently than incandescent light bulbs.

Two UCSB students explained their work with LED and laser lighting within UCSB’s Technology, Solid State Lighting, and Energy Electronics Center (SSLEEC).
Last month, the Zayed Sustainability Prize (aka Zayed Future Energy Prize) launched Guiding Light, an inspirational, five-country, month-long campaign that shared Sheikh Zayed’s vision of sustainability and humanitarianism with the world. Its trans-continental #GuidingLight journey reached its grand finale at Masdar Park, in the UAE. This project lit-up 5 countries with 10,000 solar lanterns to off-grid communities across the world.
