Fred Schubert, a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, is in his lab on the eighth floor of the Photonics Center holding a single light-emitting diode. Not too remarkable, you say, until you look closer. Around its edges, the LED shines blue and red, but at its center, the color is clearly white, the first of its particular kind in the world. Could this little LED be the beginning of the end for the 100-plus-year reign of the light bulb?
