Scientists have developed wafer-thin sheets that fill a room with natural light at the flick of a switch, according to research published today. The sheets are designed to be transparent but radiate brilliant white light when hooked up to an electricity supply. Because they do not warm up like traditional bulbs they waste far less energy
Which is good news. It will obviously take a while for them to come into the fullness of their potential, and I hope that they develop ways to make it easy for us to modify existing light fittings to use them [that would be the killer app] ...
