Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UCSB is home to Professor Shuji Nakamura, the recipient of the 2006 Millennium Technology Prize for his invention of revolutionary new energy-saving light sources. Professor Nakamura astonished the scientific community with the first successful blue light-emitting diode (LED). The blue LED was the last step in the creation of the brilliant white LED, an ultra-efficient successor to Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulb of 1879. UCSB has efforts underway to take current research and use the campus as a living lab for applications being developed by its professors.
