Ephesus Technologies Develops LED Chip Built in New York State
SyracuseCoE collaborator Ephesus Technologies recently announced it has developed its own LED chip, which brings the firm one step closer to the brightest chip in the world.
Ephesus has partnered with Group4 Labs, based at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) Smart System Technology and Commercialization Center of Excellence (STC) in Canandaigua, to engineer and manufacture its LED prototype that is expected to rival the best and most efficient LEDs on the market today. The EG4TM LED is the first that will be completely developed and manufactured in New York State. As the technology is launched, Ephesus expects to create more than 1,000 new jobs over the next 10 years.
The development of the LED was aided by Upstate New York's research and manufacturing strengths in the regional innovation cluster related to clean technologies and through collaboration with Upstate New York academic institutions and Centers of Excellence.
Ephesus received a $50,000 grant in 2012 from the SyracuseCoE Commercialization Assistance Program (CAP) established in partnership with CenterState CEO and Empire State Development (ESD) with grants received under the auspices of New York Assemblyman William Magnarelli (D- 120). The company also received a $1 million tax incentive from the ESD. And, CSNE's STC provided support and infrastructure to enable Group4 Labs to produce demonstration LEDs as a first step toward development of super-bright LEDs.

Two Weeks Left for Students Vs. Trash Design Contest
In an effort to capture the creativity and talent of college students throughout EPA Region 2, the "Students Vs. Trash" poster design contest has launched for the Spring 2012 semester to challenge students to design compelling messages about recycling, reuse, and reducing litter. With a submission deadline of May 1, there is just two weeks left to enter the contest.
Open to college students in New Jersey, New York and Puerto Rico, the contest solicits designs in any medium - from crayons to photography to Photoshop - and must have a message that encourages recycling, reuse, or litter reduction. One winner from each of the three regions will win a trip to New York City to meet with top EPA Region 2 officials. In an effort to prevent waste and the number of actual printed posters used, the designs will be shared online and social media will be utilized to select the "Top Trash Conquerors."
For more information on the contest and how to submit designs, visit www.studentsvstrash.com. Keep updated on the project and get ideas for designs by following @StudentsVsTrash on Twitter, and "liking" the Students Vs. Trash page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/StudentsVsTrash.
