- In a discovery published in Advanced Materials, the team describes its new material, which is a combination of “organic and inorganic” materials. It shines a blue, green, or right light.
- But one of the big jumps might be in manufacturing. Most LED materials require four or five layers. This team’s discover only requires one.
- “It can potentially revolutionize lighting technology. In general, the cost of LED lighting has been a big concern thus far. Energy savings have not balanced out high costs. The new discovery could change that,” explained Zhibin Yu, the research lead.
