LED Nobel Prize 2014. LEDs.

Have met more than my fair share of Nobel Physics Laureates. Much saddens to think of the great minds and hearts who have passed on.

Have written about LED technolgy (toys and practical) before. Enjoy telling story of my friend, Kyle, showing me one of the first blue LEDs (via Cree) at Cornell pre-2000. 

Missed writing about 2014 Physics Nobel Prize for LEDs. Have family near Nagoya in Okazaki. Wonder if should stop by sometime?

LEDs are more important and ubiquitous than one might imagine.

LEDs go hand in hand with the stories around solar photovoltaic production, advanced storage systems, and better efficiency (especially insulation).
