“The award is a notable example of a practical discovery winning the prize -- in contrast to last year, when the physics prize went to scientists who predicted the existence of the Higgs boson particle that explains how elementary matter attained the mass to form stars and planets.”

Ha, ha, ha.

Short sightedness right to the fore as usual.

The blue LED is without doubt an important energy saver.

The IMPLICATIONS of the Higgs boson particle is of IMMENSE importance to the future of the human race.

Very disappointing articel but well done to the three team leaders who were named. Remember, they didn't do it on their own.
