  • LEDs are gaining traction in lighting, but several research advances are needed before they find widespread use in homes and offices. With increasing funding from government and industry, this could happen within 10 years.

  • Brazil is a newcomer in science and technology (S&T) because the country woke up to this area only in the last 40 years. Brazil’s scientific community was very small until the 1960s, when full-time faculty positions at universities and graduate programs were created. Investments in graduate education and research have been consistent since the 1970s, and the country currently has about 150,000 researchers, of which 85,000 have PhD degrees. In the last 10 years, federal funds for research and development (R&D) have been increased by a factor of 10. At the same time, a robust system has been structured to support R&D and technology innovation, and the legal framework has been improved to stimulate development in companies. According to former Minister of Science and Technology Sérgio Rezende (2005–2010), a materials researcher himself, Brazil is prepared within its research centers and industry for the energy challenges ahead.

  • Construction goes green: An interview with Kevin Surace of Serious Materials

  • Buildings are stealthy contributors to global climate change. The energy needed to heat, cool, and light buildings, as well as manufacture construction materials, contributes more than half of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. But Kevin Surace, chair and CEO of Serious Materials, has made it his mission to tackle the built environment head-on. An electrical engineer by training, he has worked at IBM, Seiko-Epson, National Semiconductor, and General Magic. He later started the companies Air Communications and Perfect Commerce. In 2002, he began to develop sound-muffling polymers as a sideline, shifting his focus to materials chemistry. Sound-dampening materials now account for much of Serious Materials' business, but the company has received most of its accolades for its energy-efficient products. We caught up with Surace at Serious Materials' headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif., to talk about how materials science can help make green buildings good business.
