• Nanoantennas directing a bright future: White LEDs may soon be dethroned
  

  White LEDs may soon be dethroned as the world's go-to light source by an alternative with a much better sense of direction.  As a next-generation optical control technology, a photonic crystal or nanoantenna is a two-dimensional structure in which nano-sized particles are arranged periodically on a more

• World’s first LED lights developed from rice husks
  

  Milling rice to separate the grain from the husks produces about 100 million tons of rice husk waste globally each year. Scientists searching for a scalable method to fabricate quantum dots have developed a way to recycle rice husks to create the first silicon quantum dot (QD) LED light. Their new m more

• LEDs from bacterial production
  

  In the FET Open project ENABLED, TU Graz protein-designer Gustav Oberdorfer is working together with researchers from Spain and Italy on environmentally friendly and inexpensive light-emitting diodes. The basis for this vision is being laid at the Institute of Biochemistry at Graz University of Tech more

A Basic Guide to How LED Lights Work

Christmas isn’t far off now, and whether you’re celebrating it or not, you’ve may well have started seeing Christmas lights starting to appear adorning houses and Christmas trees. How do these lights actually work, and how can they be made to produce such an array of colours? This graphic takes a lo more
