LED efficiency puzzle solved by theorists using quantum-mechanical calculations

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 - 16:40 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers say they've figured out the cause of a problem that's made light-emitting diodes (LEDs) impractical for general lighting purposes. Their work will help engineers develop a new generation of high-performance, energy-efficient lighting that could replace incandescent and fluorescent bulbs.
