Scientists have used the tiny distortions imprinted on the cosmic microwave background by the gravity of matter throughout the universe, recorded by ESA's Planck satellite, to uncover the connection between the luminosity of quasars – the bright cores of active galaxies – and the mass of the much larger 'halos' of dark matter in which they sit. The result is an important confirmation for our understanding of how galaxies evolve across cosmic history. https://phys.org/news/2019-04-planck-reveals-link-galaxies-dark.html Astronomy Thu, 18 Apr 2019 08:44:46 EDT news474795862 Amazon unveiled four new Kindle Fire tablet computers on Thursday, including ones with larger color screens, as the online retailer steps up competition with Apple ahead of the holiday shopping season. https://phys.org/news/2012-09-amazon-ipad-kindle-hd-tablet.html Consumer & Gadgets Thu, 06 Sep 2012 14:58:23 EDT news266162286 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new kind of screen pixel doubles as a solar cell and could boost the energy efficiency of cell phones and e-readers. The technology could also potentially be used in larger displays to make energy-harvesting billboards or decorative solar panels. https://phys.org/news/2011-10-solar-cells-screens-efficient.html Nanomaterials Fri, 07 Oct 2011 09:05:36 EDT news237197122 (PhysOrg.com) -- Sony has announced via its webpage the development of a new type of LCD display that uses either half as much power as current same-size LCD displays, or the same amount of power, but doubles the brightness. Called WhiteMagic, the new LCD screen, currently just 3 inches diagonally, achieves these results by employing a third, white pixel to create images on a screen. https://phys.org/news/2011-08-sony-whitemagic-lcd-screen.html Hardware Mon, 15 Aug 2011 10:12:54 EDT news232621947 University of Michigan scientists have created the smallest pixels available that will enable LED, projected and wearable displays to be more energy efficient with more light manipulation possible and all on a display that may eventually be as small as a postage stamp. https://phys.org/news/2010-09-nanostructuring-technology-energy-efficient-ultra-small.html Nanophysics Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:40:03 EDT news204902661 (PhysOrg.com) -- Philips Research has developed a novel color e-paper technology that opens up new design opportunities for personalizing electronic devices. This means that the color and appearance, of the device’s surface, for example an MP3 player or mobile phone can easily be changed to match your outfit, mood or environment simply at the touch of a button. https://phys.org/news/2009-12-philips-electronic-skin-technology-enables.html Hi Tech & Innovation Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:31:31 EST news179602254 (AP) -- A third to a half of the Sony Corp.
