Highly efficient, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) could slash the world's electricity consumption. They are already sold in stores, but are expensive, and many of them give off "harsh" light. But researchers will report today that they have developed a less expensive, more sustainable white LED with a warm glow. The scientists will discuss their research at the 250th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society.
