Message from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe: I have received some wonderful news. The decision was made to award this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics to Dr. Isamu Akasaki, Professor at Meijo University and Distinguished Professor at Nagoya University, Dr. Hiroshi Amano, Professor at Nagoya University, and Dr. Shuji Nakamura, Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The achievements related to making blue light-emitting diodes—blue LEDs—a reality has been highly acclaimed worldwide. LEDs are a technology which we encounter constantly in our daily lives, and they also contribute to energy conservation around the globe. I conveyed my congratulations to Professor Akasaki directly last night over the telephone. I very much hope that he continues to take on various kinds of challenging research in fine health and spirits. (Originally posted at 11:34, Wednesday, October 8, 2014 in Japanese)
