Here's the quote on the website:

"The researchers also used an electric current to make a nanotube sheet light up almost instantly, via incandescent heating (the same process that causes the filament in a light bulb to glow), offering possibilities for sensor light sources or headlights that don't use filament-based light bulbs.

Using nanotubes, Baughman and his colleagues produced devices called "light emitting diodes" that manipulate the flow of electricity to generate light particles called photons. The beauty of these diodes is that they're transparent, so if you stuck them on a window, for example, you'd have a light source that was nearly invisible until it was turned on."
