Akasaki Isamu, Amano Hiroshi, and Nakamura Shuji received their Nobel Prizes in Stockholm this week, and each gave a speech. Akasaki began with a little joke. He said that although the first character in his name meant “red,” he would be talking about blue light. He talked about the importance of choosing the right materials. Amano talked about how he saw his goal from the beginning of his research. Nakamura spoke about how LEDs have helped to save energy. Thanks to their work, the world is a different place now. At this time of year, we can see their LEDs everywhere as Christmas lights.(by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
