Ils inventent l’éclairage urbain biologique sans électricité. Une start-up française pourrait bien bouleverser notre conception de l’éclairage urbain en remplaçant les enseignes lumineuses énergivores par un procédé basé sur ce qui existe dans la nature : Glowee, le système vivant de bioéclairage. Le biomimétisme a décidément le vent en poupe en ce début 2015. Après le plastique organique biodégradable et le matériau producteur d’oxygène, voici l’éclairage urbain naturel, directement inspiré du vivant. Vitrines, lampadaires, signalétiques, l’éclairage urbain est particulièrement énergivore et la facture pèse aussi bien sur la collectivité que sur l’environnement. L’idée développée par Glowee semble diablement efficace pour régler cette problématique. La petite start-up française propose d’utiliser un procédé auto-luminescent naturel comme le font les organismes vivants comme les lucioles ou certaines méduses. Contrairement aux autocollants luminescents que nous avons connus dans notre enfance, leur procédé n’utilise pas de substance radioactive.

Assemblé en Chine. » Avec une capitalisation boursière de 500 milliards de dollars, Apple est devenue la société la plus valorisée au monde. Sous ses diverses variantes, cette stratégie assure certes le succès de grandes entreprises mondiales, telles qu’Apple, mais aussi de moyennes entreprises et même de « micro-multinationales ». Un nombre croissant d'entreprises tirent le plus grand profit des deux grandes forces motrices de notre époque : la technologie et la mondialisation. La technologie a accéléré le processus de mondialisation, en réduisant de façon spectaculaire les coûts de communication et de transaction, et en faisant de plus en plus ressembler le monde à un grand marché unique pour la main-d’œuvre, les capitaux et les autres facteurs de production.

En prenant l'exemple du pays le plus pollueur au monde, il serait intéressant de voir comment ses villes, notamment Shanghai (21ème ville-monde), essaye de parvenir à pallier ce surnom exhaustif.
Dans un contexte actuel d'urbanisation massif de la Chine, c'est tout l'enjeu de penser l'avenir d'un pays, sous l'influences de fortes critiques et probations de nos sociétés occidentales actuelles et ce, par le moyen de ses mégalopoles.

How Hong Kong's endangered neon signs are made: Shanghaiist. "The Making of Neon Signs" is a short documentary presenting a visual history of how the famous neon lights in mainland China and Hong Kong are made, including captivating interviews with some of the oldest producers of neon signs in Hong Kong.
Artisans producing the signs in Hong Kong have seen a decline in businesses in the past 20 years, after the boom in the 1980s. As thousands of neon signs disappear each year from the streets of Hong Kong, so do their makers. The craft of creating neon signs might soon be lost in favor of the newer, cheaper and more environmentally friendly LED lights or posters as nowadays, signs are being taken down due to safety, efficiency or urban planning reasons. Watch the movie for insight into neon sign making from some of the most experienced workers in the field and learn about the importance of calligraphy in Chinese architecture and what signage can say about a business. You can also watch this on Youtube at a better resolution. By Andreea Dragut. I believe in the future…du gratte-ciel invisible.

Shanghai seeks to switch off 'light pollution' Shanghai seeks to switch off 'light pollution' By Da Yong (China Daily) Updated: 2004-04-12 09:29 Most Shanghai grownups still have childhood memories of fantastic starry summer nights.
But such dreams are fading, along with the chance to view the local night sky, which has become overshadowed by man-made light. "Now in the downtown area, people can hardly see the Polaris (North Star)," said Zhang Jianwei, chief of Shanghai's Sheshan Observatory in suburban Songjiang District. Even at Sheshan Mountain in the city's southwestern suburbs, it is difficult to find Polaris, which is regarded as one of the brightest stars in the sky, without a telescope, said Zhang.
5 Reasons You Should Move to a City ASAP. Recently, I spent a week on Block Island, a rustic little spot off the coast of Rhode Island.
As usual, escaping the city in the summertime promised to bring a whoosh of relief from heat and bustle. But it also, for the first time, brought a twinge of anxiety about all the technological ease I'd be giving up, as there's no Uber or Lyft on Block Island, no Spoonrocket-delivered meals or same-day Google Shopping Express trucks.
These things wouldn't even make sense there — with only a few hundred residents on the island, there would be no way to make the economics work. Like many coastal city-dwellers, I've gotten used to these digital creature comforts. IDAHome. How To Guide: Astrophotography with a DSLR » Geartacular.

BBC Religion & Ethics - Candles and sticky doughnuts: childhood memories of the Jewish festival of lights. 7 December 2012Last updated at 17:25 Chanukah starts on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev and lasts eight nights Chanukah (or Hanukkah), also known as the Jewish festival of lights, lasts eight nights and is celebrated worldwide by the lighting of candles.
Georgina Bye from the Union of Jewish Students reminisces about her childhood celebrations. Georgina Bye is Leadership and Training Director at the Union of Jewish Students As a child we used to look forward to Chanukah as we knew that for eight evenings we would be guaranteed delicious food, chocolate coins, doughnuts with various fillings, and hot potato latkes that had cooled slightly from the frying pan before being gobbled down with greedy hands.

Astrotourism skyrockets in Chile. As dusk falls in the Elqui Valley, a packed minivan rumbles up a winding trail into the hills, high above the gleaming orange lights of Vicuna - a small town at the heart of Chile's recent boom in astrotourism. After 40 minutes on the dusty road, lined with scrawny bushes, cacti and rocks, the van arrives at Pangue Observatory. Opened in 2008, it is one of about a dozen tourist observatories scattered around Chile's northern regions, which have some of the clearest skies in the world.
"I used to go on 'astronomic safaris' with my Canadian friends. We would take a telescope, drive into the valley and observe all night long, so I knew foreign visitors were interested," says Cristian Valenzuela, one of Pangue's two founders. The other is Eric Escalera, a professional astronomer who left his native France six years ago. Pangue offers stargazing sessions with a $45,000 (£26,750) telescope that range from three hours to a whole night.

Rodents seem depressed from dim light at night, but it can be reversed.
Chronic exposure to dim light at night can lead to depressive symptoms in rodents -- but these negative effects can be reversed simply by returning to a standard light-dark cycle, a new study suggests. While hamsters exposed to light at night for four weeks showed evidence of depressive symptoms, those symptoms essentially disappeared after about two weeks if they returned to normal lighting conditions.
