At UCLA, she designed one of the first systems for analog-to-digital conversion of electrical activity from the nervous system. She left USC in 2000 to join UCLA and founded the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing. Thelma Estrin, who also worked on the WEIZAC, championed the use of computers for medical research and treatment.

These shares are based on the BP convention of 38% average thermal power conversion efficiency for converting renewable electricity production to primary energy. Japan (4%). Although still very small, their share is increasing with accelerating speed: it took 12 years since 1992 to double the share from 0.5%

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? Such a change is actually well underway. This conversion happens in your phone’s or laptop’s wall charger, in the much larger chargers and inverters that power electric vehicles, and elsewhere.

When I got back from Japan in 2000 I didn’t want to start a computer business. In 2000 there couldn’t have been too many old timers in the solar industry. I know these them, I lived in Japan I know these people, I’ve sat and had conversations with them. I’m not asking them for money, I’m asking them to change a rule.

Researchers at Synthetic Genomics’ laboratory discovered a new process for increasing oil production by identifying a genetic switch that could be fine-tuned to regulate the conversion of carbon to oil in the algae species, Nannochloropsis gaditana. In 2016, ExxonMobil announced its partnership with Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy, Inc.

Soon Mazor, then a research engineer at Intel, joined him, and the two pursued Hoff’s ideas, developing a simple instruction set that could be implemented with about 2000 transistors. The Intel marketing department they estimated that sales [of microprocessors] might total only 2000 chips a year. You’re crazy.” But word went out.

Emissions to air are thought to have peaked in the 1970s, declined over the following two decades, and have been relatively stable between 1990 and 2005, despite some indications of slight increases in emissions between 2000 and 2005.

The Climate Change Commission’s analysis shows that by 2030 67% of cars entering the New Zealand market are EV. This demand will come from a range of drivers associated with decarbonisation and other technologies, including industrial process heat conversions, population growth, data centres, and electric vehicle uptake.

By about 2000, BYD had become one of the worlds largest manufacturers of cellphone batteries. Near the end of our conversation, I ask Wang about the company name. His people at MidAmerican have studied clean technologies like batteries and wind power for years because of the threat of climate change.
