New Light Source
Researchers from Princeton, USC and University of Michigan have found a way to significantly reduce the energy currently used in electric light bulbs.
The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) emits a brilliant white light when attached to an electricity supply. The material can be printed in wafer thin sheets that allow furniture and walls to be used as a light source.
This is a wonderful achievement for the ongoing sustainability of the planet, as electricity plants are a high source of pollution, and the OLED requires significantly less electricity. In addition, producing a natural light (which I appreciate more as I get older).
this is quite interesting - i wonder how long before they can make this affordable to the average joe?
