Light up the night while using less energy: scientists mimic fireflies to make brighter LEDs
Brighter LEDs inspired by fireflies Optics Express papers detail new bio-inspired coating that increases LED efficiency by 55 percent Researchers from Belgium, France, and Canada studied the internal structure of firefly lanterns, the organs on the bioluminescent insects’ abdomens that flash to attract mates. The scientists identified an unexpected pattern of jagged scales that enhanced … Read more
