The photonic chip, built by scientists from Bristol's Centre for Quantum Photonics, USES light rather than electricity to pass information.
由布里斯托尔大学量子光学中心的科学家制造的光子芯片可以利用光而不是用电来传递信息。
The image above is a close-up of a new "photonic solid" invented by Princeton physicists; think of it as a semiconductor of light, rather than electricity.
上面的图片是普林斯顿物理学家发明的新型“光子固态”的特写镜头，它们是光半导体，而非电子半导体。
Since the process is driven by heat rather than electricity, it could reduce greenhouse-gas emissions even further by using energy-efficient sources of heat.
因为这个过程是热驱动而不是电力，通过使用能量转化率高的热源，可以大大减少温室气体排放。
Hundreds of the Priuses have already been converted to plug-in hybrids, in which some of the electricity comes from plugging into the grid rather than using the gasoline engine to drive a generator.
已经有数百辆混合动力轿车被转换成了充电式混合动力车。这些车内，充电式电动力已经取代了汽油发动机驱动的发电机。
It wastes huge amounts of electricity, radiating 95% of the energy it consumes as heat rather than light.
因为它浪费了大量的电力资源，消耗的电能中有95%是用来发热而不是发光。
Rather than transmitting that electricity to shore over a submerged fiber-optic line, the juice will power the ocean-based sensors that detect and track vessels.
海浪产生的电力用来给可以探测、跟踪船只的传感器供电，而不是通过光纤线输送至岸上。
This made sense at the time: servers were cheap, and ever-rising electricity bills were generally charged to a company’s facilities budget rather than to IT.
一般情况这样也能说的过去：服务器比较便宜，不断增长的电费单一般都算到公司公共事业费的预算里而不是IT部的头上。
At some point, solar technology will improve so that electricity generated in our deserts reduces rather than increases our overall energy cost.
在某些技术环节，太阳能技术将继续改进，这样我们可以在我们的沙漠地区发电，从而降低而不是增加我们总的能耗水平。
INDIA's civil nuclear deal with America is about rather more than the proportion of electricity that might be generated by atom-splitting in 15 years' time (a meagre 4%).
印度与美国签署的民用核协议不仅仅是关于未来15年核能发电量所占的比重(目前仅占4%)。
They should also support alternative sources of electricity from wind and water rather than from oil and coal.
他们也应该支持来自风和水的电力替代能源，而不是来自石油和煤的电源。
Faster and cheaper as well, since these trains run on electricity (which can be generated locally) rather than imported petroleum based jet fuel.
既比我们的快，也比我们的便宜，用电而不需要进口石油。
This was just a one-off "concept" car for a world tour to see what the super-rich think of having their everyday transport run on electricity rather than petrol.
这只是用作世界巡展的一次性“概念”车，旨在弄清超级富豪们对每天以电动汽车而非汽油汽车作为交通工具作何想法。
By 1920 new premises at Sandes Avenue, Kendal were opened, and the whole of the machinery transferred from Meal Bank, and adapted to power by electricity, rather than water.
到1920年新校舍在沙道，肯德尔被打开了，整个机器从膳食银行和适应力的电力，而不是水。
Nowadays, the bascules are still operated by hydraulic power, but since 1976 they have been driven by oil and electricity rather than steam.
迄今为止，塔桥仍用水压做动力。但1976年后，用油料和电力更多。
Nowadays, the bascules are still operated by hydraulic power, but since 1976 they have been driven by oil and electricity rather than steam.
