#Revving up fluorescence for superfast LEDS Duke university researchers have made fluorescent molecules emit photons of light 1000 times faster than normal--setting a speed record
and making an important step toward realizing superfast light emitting diodes (LEDS) and quantum cryptography.
This year's Nobel prize in physics was awarded for the discovery of how to make blue LEDS allowing everything from more efficient light bulbs to video screens.
which LEDS can be turned on and off has limited their use as a light source in light-based telecommunications.
To make future light-based communications using LEDS practical researchers must get photon-emitting materials up to speed.
One of the applications we're targeting with this research is said ultrafast LEDS Maiken Mikkelsen an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics at Duke.
If we can precisely place molecules like this it could be used in many more applications than just fast LEDS said Akselrod.

Researchers there have developed a new technique that makes it possible to produce a diode from a single molecule.
In research published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, the researchers claim that they have not only produced a single-molecule diode,
but that it greatly outperforms all previous designs. ur new approach created a single-molecule diode that has a high rectification and a high ncurrent,
"Diodes are key elements in integrated circuits. They are two-terminal components with asymmetric conductance, which means that they keep current passing in only one direction.
But previous attempts, in which researchers looked to achieve asymmetric conductance by making the diodes asymmetric in design,
have been less than satisfactory. hile such asymmetric molecules do indeed display some diode-like properties, they are explained not effective
A well-designed diode should only allow current to flow in one directionhe ndirectionnd it should allow a lot of current to flow in that direction.
To overcome this poor current flow in single-molecule diodes, the Columbia researchers, in cooperation with colleagues at the University of California Berkeley, looked at putting the asymmetry in the area around the molecular junctionhere the molecule meets the metal electrode.

It could grow simply by using excess capacity at existing LED manufacturing facilities. The company wouldn be possible without one key bit of new manufacturing technology,
The sheets will contain organic LEDS, or OLEDSHE same kind of technology used in some ultrathin TVS and smartphones.
OLEDS could be used in large sheets, because organic light-emitting molecules can be deposited over large surfaces.
They also run cooler than LEDS, so they don require elaborate heat sinks, making a lighting structure simpler.
OLED lighting is 10 to 100 times more expensive than conventional lighting but as costs come down,
In recent weeks, researchers have announced advances that could greatly improve the efficiency of OLED lighting.
It does this via nanoparticles that ease the transition for light as it passes between the parts of an OLED device.
Konica-Minolta and OLED Works (a business formed from Kodak former OLED division) are both developing cheaper new manufacturing techniques.
as well as the Dutch company Philips, plan to scale up production of OLED lighting in the next year or two,
OLED lighting is expensive in part because manufacturers typically use equipment developed for making high-resolution displays,
says Michael Boroson, the chief technology officer of OLED Works. His company is reëngineering the equipment
This fall, Konica-Minolta will start full-scale production of OLED lights on flexible plastic sheets.
which should be faster and cheaper than making OLED lights in batches, as is done now.
Even with such advances, it will take years to bring costs low enough to make OLED lighting widely used.
OLED lamps cost as much as $9, 000 now. But, Philips aims to introduce OLED products by the beginning of 2017 that cost $600 to $1, 600.
Costs are expected to drop further as the scale of production increases. Fundamental research could also make OLED lighting more realistic.
OLED lighting blends red, green, and blue light, but the blue light is relatively inefficient.
Last week Stephen Forrest, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Michigan, published work on a more efficient,
LEDS produce a beautiful sheet of light, Forrest says. believe OLED lighting will be a very important lighting source in the future, perhaps a dominant one.

So the screen in the Apple Watch is almost certainly an OLED display. Rather than the pixels being illuminated by a backlight,
Manufacturers can already make OLED displays flexible. They first laminate a sheet of plastic to glass and then deposit the materials for the pixels and the electronics on top of both.
Samsung showed off a fully FLEXIBLE OLED display in 2013. The tricky part is making sure the devices are durable.
OLED pixels can be destroyed by even trace amounts of water vapor and oxygen, so you have to seal the display within robust, high-quality, flexible materials.

The new designnown as a sequential displayould help LCDS close the energy efficiency gap with another type of display, the OLED.
OLEDS are used in some smartphones and TVS, but are more expensive to produce. Marc Mcconnaughey, CEO of Light Polymers, says the company materials are being evaluated by flat-panel display manufacturers.
Versions were built that could power LEDS motion detectors, accelerometers, and touch-sensitive buttons. Adding Wi-fi capabilities makes the devices more practical.
Because of its scratch-proof properties, it has long been used for making LEDS, sensors on missiles,
#How LEDS Are Set to Revolutionize Hi-tech Greenhouse Farming It won't come as a surprise to discover that consumers all over the developed world are increasingly demanding seasonal vegetables all year round even
One obvious answer is to convert greenhouses from the traditional incandescent lighting usually high pressure sodium lamps to more energy-efficient LEDS.
but the industry has been slow to make this change because of the high initial cost of LEDS.
These guys have compared the life-cycle costs of traditional high pressure sodium lamps against those of LEDS for greenhouse lighting.
They calculate that the cumulative cost of high pressure sodium lamps surpasses that of LEDS after just seven years
and that after 16 years the cumulative cost of high pressure sodium lamps is more than double the equivalent cost of LEDS.
Although high pressure sodium lamps are individually cheaper than LEDS they have to be changed every year compared to every 19 years for LEDS.
And of course LEDS use considerably less electricity wasting little as heat. But the most interesting part of Singh and co s analysis is in the potential of LEDS to change the way that vegetables are grown.
High pressure sodium lamps emit light across the entire visible part of the spectrum and well into the infrared where much energy is lost as heat.
By contrast LEDS can be adjusted to emit light in very specific parts of the spectrum. Plant physiologists have known long that chlorophyll absorbs mainly in the blue green
That s easy with LEDS of course but impossible with sodium lampsat the same time various researchers have shown that flowering

uses'Heat Pipe'technology to direct heat away from LEDS to stop them becoming dimmer and less efficient over time.
despite LEDS being invented originally to last a lifetime. His gripe with conventional lights is that they fail to protect LEDS from heat,
exposing them to temperatures up to 130°C (266°F) and damaging the phosphorous coating, meaning LEDS produce worse quality light over time.
To solve this problem, he has designed CSYS task lights that have unique technology in order to direct heat away from their LEDS. perating at 55°C (131°F),
they don lose quality or efficiency for 37 years, according to his website. Speaking in a video, Dyson said his greatest innovation to date is the ability to cool LEDS

The team claims that these graphene-based LEDS can emit light across their entire surface (apparently obviating
and have reached efficiencies that are already comparable to organic LEDS in terms of quantum efficiency (photons emitted per electron injected).
Whether or not that means graphene-based LED TECHNOLOGY can supplant OLED is, of course, an open question.
While OLEDS have become popular in certain Samsung displays, the OLED revolution in mainstream television has yet to occur.
What was predicted once as The next Big Thing after 1080p has been supplanted largely by conventional LCD technology at higher 4k resolutions.
OLED has just one major vendor LG offering serious support, and that not enough to drive long-term R&d for continuing the technology in large panels.
if graphene LEDS can drive the rich, vibrant colors that have made OLEDS desirable, but if they can,
it possible that TV manufacturers will finally be able to deliver the promise of OLED in a different technology.
Of course, given the long lead time between research and commercialization, wee still talking about advances that could take five to ten years to hit the market i
a finger-tap on the device was able to generate enough current to power 12 commercial LEDS.
#Breakthrough quantum dot hybrid LED is inexpensive and delivers vibrant color Light-emitting diodes (LEDS) are prevalent in everything from digital clocks to solar panels, traffic lights, electronic banners and signs, Christmas decorations,
as well as smartphone and tablet displays. However, LEDS are created using organic materials that can be costly for researchers.
The end result of the manufacturing process is that LEDS cost more for the consumer.
While LED lighting systems last longer, are more energy-efficient, and provide an improved color gamut above that of fluorescent lights,
cost-effective quantum dot (QD) hybrid LED could enable LED lighting system adoption on a mass scale.
University of Hiroshima (Japan) researchers created the new light-emitting diode using silicon quantum dot solution and a polymer solution on top of an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass ply that was used as the anode for the LED.
The silicon quantum dot solution was placed in the bottom of a glass vial that sat on a rotating stage.
The study is the first of its kind to produce silicon quantum dot LEDS by way of a solution-based process
and marks an advancement of LED TECHNOLOGY, seeing that the use of organic film as the electron transport in past LED production resulted in a decreased photoluminescence and an inaccurate color reproduction.
resulting in a more cost-efficient process by which to manufacture LEDS. Fluorescent bulbs are cheaper than LEDS,
with a box of fluorescent bulbs costing no more than a few dollars, but consume more energy and lead to higher energy bills.
LEDS are more expensive up-front, with some costing as high as $70 a piece,
QLED TVS, like LED lighting systems, cost more up-front than traditional LCD TVS but are cost-efficient and color-effective.
but Samsung is one of the major manufacturers now advancing QD technology over OLED with the recent release of its Super Ultra High-Definition TVS (SUHD)

The key to its success in replicating a sunny sky uses nanostructured materials to scatter light from LEDS in the same way tiny particles scatter sunlight in the atmosphere so-called Rayleigh scattering.
Illuminating research Only recently has the full utility of LEDS been realized for general lighting. While red and green LEDS had been in commercial use for more than a decade,
the missing color for producing white light was blue. Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura cracked the blue conundrum in the early 1990s.
Now, thanks to their work, white light LEDS are ubiquitous. In recognition of this energy saving invention, they received the Nobel prize in Physics last year.
Take LEDS for example. Research in blue LEDS started more than 40 years ago at Radio Corporation of America,

#One step closer to a single-molecule device Researchers have designed a new technique to create a single-molecule diode,
and, in doing so, they have developed molecular diodes that perform 50 times better than all prior designs.
The group, under the direction of Latha Venkataraman, associate professor of applied physics at Columbia Engineering, is the first to develop a single-molecule diode that may have real-world technological applications for nanoscale devices.
Their paper,"Single-Molecule Diodes with High On-Off Ratios through Environmental Control,"is published May 25 in Nature Nanotechnology."
"Our new approach created a single-molecule diode that has a high(>250) rectification and a high"on"current (0. 1 micro Amps),"says Venkataraman."
The idea of creating a single-molecule diode was suggested by Arieh Aviram and Mark Ratner who theorized in 1974 that a molecule could act as a rectifier, a one-way conductor of electric current.
and, indeed, diodes. They have learned that it is possible to see quantum mechanical effects, such as interference, manifest in the conductance properties of molecular junctions.
Since a diode acts as an electricity valve, its structure needs to be asymmetric so that electricity flowing in one direction experiences a different environment than electricity flowing in the other direction.
In order to develop a single-molecule diode, researchers have designed simply molecules that have asymmetric structures.""While such asymmetric molecules do indeed display some diode-like properties,
they are not effective, "explains Brian Capozzi, a Phd student working with Venkataraman and lead author of the paper."
"A well-designed diode should only allow current to flow in one direction-the'on'direction
