Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

Didn't watch the YT Vid, did see part of a documentary years ago about the blue LED.
This reminded me of a more recent Doco, Blue dye and pigment was a difficult colour to make in the ancient world, it was also an interesting process, now we just take it for granted like the blue LED, where would we be without it.
