ScienceDaily (Feb. 15, 2010) — RTI International has developed a revolutionary lighting technology that is more energy efficient than the common incandescent light bulb and does not contain mercury, making it environmentally safer than the compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb.

At the core of RTI's breakthrough is an advanced nanofiber structure that provides exceptional lighting management. Nanofibers are materials with diameters and surface features much smaller than the human hair but with comparable lengths.

RTI's technology, which was funded in part by the Department of Energy's Solid-State Lighting program, centers around advancements in the nanoscale properties of materials to create high-performance, nanofiber-based reflectors and photoluminescent nanofibers (PLN). When the two nanoscale technologies are combined, a high-efficiency lighting device is produced that is capable of generating in excess of 55 lumens of light output per electrical watt consumed. This efficiency is more than five times greater than that of traditional incandescent bulbs.

    Well I am sure Georgeanne knows the local crowd far better than I do, and what they might be likely to purchase.

    Kiwi's sister, at whose home we're having the show, was strongly in favor of clock hands sweeping over body parts. She thinks it would sell well to the St Louis art crowd. I was initially putting the…

    some of them are lovely photos, but the clock doesn't fit in well (e.g. kwan yin - there's no place for the clock to go). the chihuly tentacle is great in that respect, because there is a natural hub…

    Geoff might well like to have this!! Some amazing pix came out of that day :) And I like the implied comparison of a clock=time with soap bubble=ephemerality... (is that a word??)

    It's pretty hard…
