Thought some of you might be interested:
Sandia National Laboratories has developed a new kind of light source, quantum dots that radiate in the visible spectrum by UV stimulation. Some EE's here care to comment? Just a novel idea, they ain't replaced light bulbs yet...

Sandia researchers use quantum dots as a new approach to solid-state lighting

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In a different approach to creating white light several researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Sandia National Laboratories have developed the first solid-state white light-emitting device using quantum dots. In the future, the use of quantum dots as light-emitting phosphors may represent a major application of nanotechnology."
