Materials Could Make for Super LEDs, Solar Cells, Computer Chips
"...Engineers at Ohio State University have overcome a major barrier in the manufacture of high quality light emitting devices and solar cell materials.
Steven Ringel, professor of electrical engineering, and his colleagues have created special hybrid materials that are virtually defect-free -- an important first step for making ultra-efficient electronics in the future.... They have also built bright light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on silicon substrates that have a display quality comparable to that of traditional LEDs."
