After four years of study, the senior researcher at tiny Nichia Chemical Industries, a company in southeastern Japan, had created a little azure beam that would revolutionize the global electronics industry. Nakamura's blue light-emitting diode was the missing link needed to produce cheap, energy-saving illumination in everything from traffic lights to big-screen TVs; it also promised greatly expanded storage capacity on digital video discs...
