[extropy-chat] Nanoscale LED's

[Jeff Davis]

Extropes,

I've never waivered in my belief that the tech
revolution is the real deal, driven by the
ever-accelerating pace of tech
research-slash-discovery-slash-application.  

While I agree with Harvey that the expanse of new
possible knowledge--the previously unknown now partly
seen out of the mists of Maya--is vast, yet it is a
challenge not so much from accessibility as from the
hugeness of the task... of exploration.  It is a vast
"orchard" to be sure, but an orchard of "low hanging
fruit".  A vast job of easy pickins for a world soon
to be 'enhanced' by an equally vast emerging multitude
of Chinese and Indian techies.

Yeah, baby!  Bring it on.

Nanocrystals Spark Efficient LEDs

...The light-emitting diodes can be as small as a few
nanometers in diameter...

...The nanoscale lights use very little power and can
be made in different colors ***simply***[my emphasis]
by varying the sizes of the nanocrystals. ...

...Nanocrystals are easy to manufacture, durable, and
are very efficient light emitters. ... 

Best, Jeff Davis
