When you flip a switch or power up your smartphone, the last thing on your mind is whether that light could be messing with ...

LED lighting is bringing energy-efficient light to all corners of the globe. This year's Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to three Japanese scientists for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes ...

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 ...

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 ...

With the invention of the first LED featuring a red color, it seemed only a matter of time before LEDs would appear with other colors. Indeed, soon green and other colors joined the LED revolution, ...

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 ...

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 ...
