So some lab geeks have figured out<\/a> how to make “quantum dot” lights emit a mostly-white, yellow-tinged light, which is to say to emit the kind of light most consumers prefer. They use up much less energy – and the manufacturing process has the potential to become relatively cheap and easy. This could lead beto the end of lamps as we know them:<\/p>\n

But, if the quantum dot approach pans out, it could transform lighting production into a primarily chemical process. Such a fundamental change could open up a wide range of new possibilities, such as making almost any object into a light source by coating it with luminescent paint capable of producing light in a rainbow of different shades, including white.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
