My six year old #BeardGrabber is watching a video about the development of blue #LEDs by #ShujiNakamura. I wonder how much he understands; hopefully his younger brain will pick up and retain more than my tired one. 😅

Before jumping into an Academy Awards watchlist, you should see Veratasium’s docudrama on the invention of the Blue LED. The inventor is more badass than a real life Walter White.

Because I have some background in electrical and electronics engineering back in college, I was already somewhat familiar with Nakamura’s work in inventing the blue LED. But this Veritasium video is really excellent in explaining how wonderful this invention was. Plus, the animations are so good that I wish we had these back when we were learning how semiconductors and diodes work.
