"It's a little like time travel". This is really awesome though. I wonder what materials they'll use engineer to mass produce these!

I saw a picture of an LED and read this too: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-03/09/230-percent-efficient-leds

That's pretty awesome. Diamond-based quantum computers have been theorized for a while now. The craziest thing, IMO, is that they used already-existing impurities, instead of growing their own diamond. I would never have expected that to work.

"It's a little like time travel".
I think this is probably a gross simplification.
