LED lights could get better with self-assembling particles
“Our new technique allows these nanoparticles to self-assemble to create ultra-fine grained films, an advance in fabrication that makes perovskite LEDs look more like a viable alternative to existing technologies,” said Barry Rand, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Princeton and the lead researcher in the findings.Basically, this bodes well for the future of LEDs. It could eventually make it easier to...
