Professor Hiroshi Amano, 2014 Nobel prize laureate in Physics, talking today at @bristolphysics.bsky.social on his development of p-type GaN doping that enabled blue LEDs, which paved the way for the revolution in energy efficient LED lighting and TV, computer and smartphone screens.

The current slide relates to his masters project where he finally succeeded to grow a high quality GaN crystal.

Sad to hear the news of Peter Higgs. I met him in Edinburgh in 2013 at his Nobel prize celebration. When I asked Prof. Higgs to sign a copy of his 1964 Physical Review Letters he told me how he only added the existence of a particle after comments from a referee who initially rejected it!
