Three scientists, Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura, have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on blue LEDs. Since the development of the first blue LEDs in the early ...
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are so ubiquitous that it's easy to forget just how much society relies on these underappreciated technological wonders. Yet, the history of the LED goes back further than ...
A Rutgers-led team of scientists has developed an eco-friendly, very stable, ultra-bright material and used it to generate deep-blue light (emission at ~450 nm) in a light-emitting diode (LED), an ...
It’s hard to believe that the first blue LED didn’t arrive until 1993. They look simple, but looks are deceiving (Fig. 1). 1. Image showing a blue InGaN-based LED with gold wire contacts (0.4 × 0.4 mm ...
The first official LED was created in 1927 by Russian inventor Oleg Losev, however, the discovery of electroluminescence was made two decades prior. British experimenter H. J. Round of Marconi Labs ...
Perovskites, known for their potential use in solar cells, also hold promise for making low-cost, flexible light-emitting diode panels for lighting and displays. One hurdle that perovskite LEDs face ...
Deep blue: Scientists have developed hybrid copper iodide crystals that emit deep-blue light. (Courtesy: Kun Zhu/Jing Li Lab/Rutgers University) A team led by researchers at Rutgers University in the ...
About a decade ago Los Angeles–based software developer Lorna Herf decided to try her hand at oil painting. She and her husband, Michael, also a computer programmer, eventually installed bright ...
With the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics due to be announced on Tuesday 8 October, Physics World journalists pick their favourite Nobel awards from the past. Here Margaret Harris argues the case for the ...
