(Nanowerk News) The nanotechnology research team led by professors Helge Weman and Bjørn-Ove Fimland at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's (NTNU) Department of Electronic Systems has ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new process for creating ultrathin, ultrasmall inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and assembling them into large arrays offers new classes of lighting and display systems with ...

It is well-known that simultaneously mixing two primary-color light sources, such as red and green, creates a secondary color, such as yellow. This mixing process commonly occurs in tricolor LEDs. One ...

As part of a project demonstrating new 3-D printing techniques, Princeton researchers have embedded tiny light-emitting diodes into a standard contact lens, allowing the device to project beams of ...

In this week's MacGyver Challenge, we asked you to hack something using LEDs. We received some great entries, but the winning hack shows us a clever book-lighting solution for binder clips and LEDs.

Disney researchers have demonstrated that light bulbs can do more that just illuminate our rooms – they could communicate with each other, with objects and with the Internet, to create ‘smart’ ...

The increasing use of color displays in portable devices has spurred a number of semiconductor suppliers to develop driver ICs for white LED arrays. Although white LED drivers have been available for ...

Reporting from Santa Barbara — A California scientist and two in Japan won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for a breakthrough invention that reduces global warming and brings light to areas of ...

In regular microchips, work is performed via the movement of electrons within the chip. Thanks to the recent creation of the thinnest-ever LEDs, however, such chips may one day be able to use light ...
