- The light source could serve as a prototype for nano-components that convert electrical into optical signals with gigahertz frequencies
- Information is processed and transmitted by ever-smaller components, sometimes with electrons and sometimes with light
- The researchers construct their nanolamp with integrated transistor control by placing a dye molecule on a layer of Buckminsterfullerenes
