When I visited the Materials dept at UCSB to see if I wanted to go there, I learned the story of Nakamura’s discovery (he’s faculty there).

Have you read “Bluets” by Maggie Nelson?

I haven't, but seems cool!

And yeah, Nakamura's story is interesting in itself. I kind of want to write about it more, but I'd have to actually understand how LEDs work and I haven't reached that point yet :)
