Scientists have created a blue light-emitting diode (LED) from a trendy new semiconductor material, halide perovskite, overcoming a major barrier to employing these cheap, easy-to-make materials in electronic devices. This research was led by Berkeley Lab’s Peidong Yang. https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/01/24/blue-diode-illustrates-limitations-promise-of-perovskite-semiconductors/
