Diverse Strategies are Needed to Address Climate Change in Marine Ecosystems

Diverse Strategies are Needed to Address Climate Change in Marine Ecosystems Conserving the world’s oceans and coastal ecosystems is a no-regrets strategy posing huge benefits for people and planet.” Blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangroves, saltmarshes, kelp forests and seagrass meadows, act as carbon sinks by removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it below ground in their sediments.

For 30 years, Duarte has headed the study into blue carbon  ecosystems that can help mitigate and adapt to climate change and these ecosystems include mangroves, sandy beaches, coasts, seagrasses, salt marshes and kelp forests.

New Electrochemical Method to Develop Higher Efficiency Organic Solar Cells

New Electrochemical Method to Develop Higher Efficiency Organic Solar Cells Written by AZoMJan 6 2021 A possible solution in the quest for an energy source that does not affect the planet is sunlight. However, this relies on discovering a method to effectively convert electromagnetic energy into electricity. Adding diquat, a known herbicide, as a dopant enhances the conversion efficiency of high-performance organic solar cells. Image Credit: © 2021 Yuanbao Lin. Scientists from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have demonstrated how a known herbicide can enhance this transformation in organic devices. Although solar cells have conventionally been developed from inorganic materials like silicon, organic materials are now emerging as an alternative since they are flexible, light and comparatively economical to produce, even providing the likelihood of printable manufacture.

Tuneable white-emitting LED needs no phosphor

Tuneable white-emitting LED needs no phosphor Researchers in Saudi Arabia have demonstrated white light emission from a phosphor-less LED. Generally, ‘white’ LEDs have a blue-emitting die topped with phosphors that convert some of that blue to broad-spectrum amber – which combined with the residual blue is seen by humans as cool white. Adding a red-emitting phosphor in the mix produces warm white LEDs. Daisuke Iida, Kazuhiro Ohkawa, and their team at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have created at phosphor-free monolithic white-light LEDs using indium gallium nitride – the same combination normally used for blue LEDs. The emission wavelength of InGaN depends on the relative content of the indium and gallium: Gallium nitride emits ultraviolet light, while adding indium shifts emission to longer wavelengths through the visible spectrum. However, for a number of reasons, pushing emission as far as red by adding a lot of indium is problematic.

GCC s Best Completed Projects

GCC’s Best Completed Projects December 18, 2020 MEED-GlobalData has revealed the winners of its 10th annual MEED Project Awards at an awards ceremony in Dubai. The awards celebrate the GCC’s best projects completed in 2018 and 2019.  25 organizations from UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman were commended for their achievements across 19 unique categories – including Commercial Property Project of the Year, Digital Infrastructure Project of the Year, Healthcare Project of the Year and more – in delivering some of the GCC’s best projects, reiterating the efforts that the entire region is taking to develop projects that are strategically vital to the growth of the region, driving the GCC’s projects market forward.
