Technology 101: The Illusive Blue LED – From Myth to Reality

Blue LED light emitting diodes Electrical Electricity Computing

The blue , a pivotal innovation in lighting , was developed in the early 1990s by Shuji Nakamura, along with Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano. This invention was significant enough to earn them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014. Blue LEDs are essential because they have a higher gap, allowing for the production of blue , which, when combined with red and green LEDs, can create white light. This advancement has led to energy-efficient lighting solutions that are revolutionizing industries and consumer products worldwide. Photo by panumas nikhomkhai

Environment 101: Climate Change Is Real & Bad News: Europe Is Drying Up

Climate change sea level nature environment Klang Malaysia

As much as many around the world are giving low priority to nature, is real and it has started to cause problems to many all over the world. It is predicted that by the year 2030, the sea level is expected to increase by 4 feet and 5 feet by the year 2050. By then, a number of coastal areas like Klang marked in red are expected to be under the sea. Map source: Climate Central

Environment 101: Understanding Malaysia’s 2016 Positive Greenhouse Gas Emission Edge

Greenhouse Gas Deforestation Forest Malaysia

Global Forest Watch reported that from 2002 to 2020, Malaysia had lost about 2.70Mha (around 27,000 square kilometres) of humid primary forest which in turn impacts the greenhouse gases emission.

This amounts to 34% of the total tree cover loss in the same 20 years. Interestingly this also amounted to a loss of 8.39Mha (around 84,000 square kilometres) of tree cover, equivalent to a 29% decrease in tree cover since 2000 and 4.82Gt of CO₂e emissions.
