BLUES IN THE NIGHT

摘要

In the early 1990s three Japanese scientists sparked a revolution in the lighting industry when they succeeded in making semiconductors that emit blue light. More than two decades on, white LEDs are springing up in our homes, on our streets, in our cars, pretty much everywhere we look. The three scientists, Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura were of course awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize for Physics.
