If you're lucky, you, too, can ride around safely after dark
thanks to millions of salmon sperm. Recent research has shown
that a thin layer of DNA from salmon sperm has such fine optical
qualities that it increases the strength and effectiveness of
light diodes by holding onto the electrons longer than synthetic
materials. It's a chappie named Andrew Steckl, one of the
world's leading light diode experts and professor of light
learning at Cincinnati University who has figured it all out.
Namely that thin layers of our hereditary material was better at
blocking electrons than conventional materials like silicium.
"DNA contains certain optical, magnetic and structural qualities
that make it unique. It makes it possible to improve the
effectiveness, the strength of the light and the clarity...",
Steckl said in a press release from the university. Okay, via a
Danish article from which we shamlessly translated this whole
piece... but anyway... The two light diodes on top show
conventional materials holding onto e
