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 ...

Three researchers helped revolutionize lighting with vastly better energy efficiency and brightness. The light-emitting diodes also are used in data storage, TVs and smartphones. Stephen Shankland ...

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 ...
