Japanese scientists win Nobel Prize with a dangerous blueish white LED light! (page 62 of the booklet ‘Our mind in a controlled quantum Euclidean space?’)

A bright idea! Japanese scientists win Nobel Prize in physics for their invention of environmentally-friendly blue LEDs

  • Award given to Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano at Nagoya University, Japan and Shuji Nakamuraat University of California at Santa Barbara
  • They invented blue light-emitting diodes – a low-energy light source
  • About one fourth of world electricity consumption is used for lighting 
  • The new blue LEDs could contribute to saving the Earth’s resources
  • LEDs use around 90 per cent less energy than incandescent bulbs
  • Group will receive 8 million Swedish kronor – £690,000 or $1.1 million
  • Prize will given on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death

Three Japanese-born scientists have won the Nobel Prize in physics for inventing blue-light emitting diodes (LEDs) that have revolutionised the lighting industry.

Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano of Japan and U.S. scientist Shuji Nakamura won the award for their 1990s invention, which has led to the use of environmentally-friendly light sources worldwide.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the technology is just 20 years old, ‘but it has already contributed to create white light in an entirely new manner to the benefit of us all.’
