Chemistry World October 7, 2014	Inventors of blue LED win physics Nobel The 2014 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano, of Nagoya University, Japan, and Shuji Nakamura of the University of California, Santa Barbara, US, for the invention of efficient blue light emitting diodes.
Technology Research News December 11, 2002 Kimberly Patch	Material soaks up the sun The semiconductor indium nitride got a raw deal a few decades back when it was misclassified as a mediocre photovoltaic. It turns out the stuff could be a champ at changing sunlight into electricity. If all goes according to plan, indium nitride will make for more efficient solar cells.
IEEE Spectrum March 2007 Prachi Patel Predd	Beyond Blue High-definition DVD movies and players based on blue lasers have only just arrived on the market, but already a new generation is in sight, promising another fivefold increase in storage density. The key to making UV-emitting devices is likely to be zinc oxide.
