My sister sent me an email with two photos attached. They were photos of my daughter’s house and my apartment building. My sister has been to the house, but she hasn’t seen our apartment. She got the pictures from Google. The Internet is amazing, but sometimes it can be scary. I’m not sure that I want people to see where I live. I started thinking that I want to live somewhere where Google has never been. Is there any place like that? Actually, they cannot take pictures in North Korea. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to Akasaki Isamu, Amano Hiroshi, and Nakamura Shuji for their work on blue LEDs. They did research separately, but they all helped to make LED lighting possible. Usually the prize for physics goes to research that seems very far from everyday life, but this time the prize is very easy to understand. LEDs have changed the world so much. LEDs use much less energy and last longer than older types of lighting. Traffic lights and flashlights are made with LEDs now, and LEDs light up computer and smartphone screens.
