Quote:

As a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Alexei Erchak developed the first prototype "high-efficient LED" in 2001. His take on the butterfly discovery? It "means that butterflies are smarter than MIT students."

...tiny mirror systems and crystals—have apparently been lighting up butterfly wings for millennia.




Visit a butterfly pavillion if you ever get a chance. I watched butterflys hatch out of their cacoons :shocked: I thought it was neat... It's like a botanicle garden but with butterflys everywhere
