Nobel Prize of three Japanese born scientists

Slide 2

Three Japanese-born scientists who helped brighten the world will share this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura carried out groundbreaking research that led to the creation of blue light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. What they developed is now used in a range of electronic products. VIDEO

Three Japanese-born scientists who helped brighten the world will share this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura carried out groundbreaking research that led to the creation of blue light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. What they developed is now used in a range of electronic products. Members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences made the announcement in Stockholm. In 1989, Akasaki and Amano used gallium nitride crystals to develop a semiconductor that emitted blue light. Nakamura built on that achievement to create brighter blue LEDs that were capable of being used in electronic products. The members of the academy said their invention helped to contribute to saving the Earth's resources, and they say it promises a better quality of life for billions of people around the world.

Nobel Prize . . Three Japanese-born scientists will share this year's Nobel Prize. They major in Physics. They helped brighten the world. Akasaki, Amano and Nakamura carried out groundbreaking research. They led to the creation of blue light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. What they developed is now used in electronic products. Members of the Nobel Committee reported the result in Stockholm. In 1989, Akasaki and Amano used some materials to develop a semiconductor. This emitted blue light. Nakamura built on that achievement. He created brighter blue LEDs. Blue LEDs were capable of being used in electronic products. The members of the committee said their invention helped to contribute to saving the Earth's resources. They hope it will (promises) make a better quality of life. It will be used by billions of people around the world.
