When the then relatively obscure Japanese engineer Shuji Nakamura announced in 1993 that he had solved the puzzle of how to manufacture solid-state white lights, or light emitting diodes (LEDs), he stunned colleagues who had been striving to solve the problem for over a quarter century. Basing his narrative on interviews with Nakamura and others in the industry, science journalist Johnstone reconstructs the career of Nakamura, paying particular attention to the trajectory that led to his groundbreaking work with LEDs, but also discussing his legal battles with his former employer, his emigration to the United States, and his ongoing research. Johnstone also speculates on the future of LEDs. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
