    I liked when Dr Tobias talked about red LEDs that were very bright. it’s cool that Nick predicted that there would be: green, yellow, blue, and even white LEDs.

    I like how they explain about Radiation and how it can change your DNA , and your body. I also thought that it was quite interesting about how the melanin in the black frog changed when it came in contact with nuclear radiation. I also thought that the mold was pretty cool and didn’t expect it to survive the radiation and it grew 20% faster and eats the radiation. I also enjoyed learning about LEDS and the diode. My personal favorite was learning about running wires for morse code, and the concept of radio waves the invention itself was overall was interesting and my favorite part of the video.

    LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) function through a process called electroluminescence,
    where light is emitted when an electric current passes through a semiconductor material.
    At the core of an LED is a p-n junction,
    formed by joining p-type and n-type semiconductors.
    When current flows across this junction,
    electrons from the n-side recombine with electron holes from the p-side,
    releasing energy in the form of photons—particles of light.
    Because of their efficiency, durability,
    and compact size, LEDs have become the preferred choice over incandescent and fluorescent lighting in many applications.

    Dr. John talked about radiation and its consequences. Joshua showed how we can make the graduation plan. Roger Billings and Pajet talked about Heinrich Hertz who was the first to produce and detect radio waves in the laboratory. They also talked about Édouard Branly who invented the Coherer. Roger Billings went to Área 51 to make experiments. A very striking phrase in this Science Live was “Keystone Inventor – often called an “inventioneer” is the visionary who integrates prior discoveries and inventions, making them practical, scalable, and commercially viable for society”.
