Fish sperm improves the efficiency of LEDs

Don’t you know that electronic component as simple as a LED still has lots of rooms for improvement? Yes, of course, we’ll always need the brightest as possible but consumes least energy possible. One good discovery by Light Emitting Diode is biological membrane is best used to enhance the LEDs that we have today. The biological membrane can slow down electrons that will make the LEDs to emit more photons, meaning much brighter LEDs that consumes same or less amount of energy is possible.

The more detailed story is actually about the DNA, which it allows improvements in one to two orders of magnitude in terms of efficiency, light, brightness as it can trap electrons longer that in a result producing more photons.

The whole bunch of DNA that can be extracted with low cost is from the sperm of salmon. Perhaps, you would never have thought of electronic components could be related to the sperm of fish. Anyway, the salmon sperm is a waste product that has been thrown away in tons in the fishing industry, and it’s simply great that it can be used to improve some electronic components in the low cost manner. The professor has been receiving salmon sperm from researchers around the world wanting to see if their sperm is good enough to power the LEDs. Sounds pretty promising, so we’d get to see more efficient LEDs hit the market in the near future
