Sentences with phrase «scale use of such technologies»

In the wake of the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report, in which most of the integrated assessment models that hold temperatures to below 2C contemplate large - scale use of such technologies, and the Paris Agreement's call for balancing emissions and sinks, these technologies are increasingly part of the climate response conversation.

If the ionization states of silicon can not only be sampled on such a short time scale, but can also be set — as the first experiments with krypton suggest — scientists might one day be able to use this to develop novel and even faster computer technologies.

Research in the Bredas group focuses on computational materials chemistry: computational methods are used as a tool to uncover the properties of novel advanced materials, understand their chemistry and physics, and derive an integrated understanding of the intrinsic molecular - and nano - scale processes in a variety of emerging applications (such as solar cells or low - power displays), especially in the fields of organic electronics, photonics, and information technology.

The judges rated their impressions on a sliding scale, evaluating areas such as quality and effectiveness, ease of use, and creative use of technology.

As budgets continue to swell for large - scale video game projects from the likes of big publishing houses such as EA and Activision, and as the technology continues to rapidly raise the bar for new gaming experiences, creative teams are using many more resources to try and make their games bigger,...

Whereas battery storage is a relatively recent technology for large - scale applications, ways of storing thermal energy — such as using cheap off - peak electricity to freeze ice for daytime air conditioning — have been around for decades.

Renewable energy technologies produce clean energy, can be better scaled to meet demand than large dams, reduce dependence on problematic energy sources such as fossil fuels and large hydro, and can be used in rural areas far from the grid, where most of the world's un-electrified communities are located.

Neil and his Scottish friends had quite a laugh at the Unity Homes party; no doubt the laugh is on all of us here in North America who are just beginning to look at sustainable design in such a disciplined and thorough manner, who are just starting to do green prefabricated walls like this, (more to come on Unity Homes themselves, who use similar technology) and where architects rarely become design - builders of this scale and sophistication.

We used our scale to drive the creation of new energy - saving technologies, such as LED freezer case lights, which are now commonly used by other retailers.

Cian Conroy, Catapult's business development director, adds: «The offshore wind industry is quite risk - averse and so demonstration projects [such as Batwind] are a key enabler — both crucial to proving the viability and advancing the technology and also pushing ahead the policy agenda that is needed to support wider - scale use of technologies that will make a measurable difference to the offshore wind's cost of energy.»

Solar radiation can be converted directly to usable energy through a variety of technologies, and that energy can be used for small - scale applications such as powering hand - held calculators, powering solar vehicles, or heating water for residential applications.
