Umsunguli waseMelika we-blue diode ugxeka iKomidi likaNobel

Ngicabanga ukuthi sinehlazo elincane likaNobel. U-Nick Holonyak Jr., uprofesa wase-University of Illinois oneminyaka engama-85 owakha i-LED yokuqala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngo-1962, utshele i-Associated Press ukuthi akaqondi ukuthi kungani i-LED eyakhiwe ngeminyaka yawo-'90s ifanelwe uMklomelo kaNobel kanye neminyaka yakhe engama-30 ngaphambili. akazange..

U-Holonyak uphinde wathi "ama-LED aluhlaza ayengeke adalwe ukube kwakungewona umsebenzi wakhe ngeminyaka yama-60s." Umkakhe wengeze umbala othinta inhliziyo kulo lonke udaba ngokumemezela ukuthi umyeni wakhe wavuma eminyakeni eminingi edlule ukuthi ngeke aklonyeliswe uMklomelo KaNobel ngezimpumelelo zakhe. Kuthe uma sekubonakala ukuthi sekuhlonishwe omunye wasala ngemuva wanquma ukukhuluma nabezindaba.

"Damn," etshela izintatheli. "Ngiyindoda endala, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi ukunyundela lokho." Nokho, ugcizelela ukuthi akahlosile ukubukela phansi indima yozakwabo baseJapane ekuthuthukisweni kwe-LED eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Kodwa-ke, ngokombono wakhe, ukufaneleka kwabantu abaningi abaye bafaka isandla ekuthuthukiseni lobu buchwepheshe akufanele kunganakwa.
