Micron LED Light Based Wireless Network Created by UK Researchers

Scientists from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland (United Kingdom) have begun to develop a new Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology that will use special micron-sized LED lights, such as those that could be used as part of home lighting or TV displays, to form part of a sophisticated wireless communications network (much like Wi-Fi is today). The principle, which revolves around manipulating the on/off flicker of LED lights to produce a digital network (a bit like Morse Code from a torch), is not new but most of the other teams are focusing on larger Li-Fi L...

microLEDs: from headlamps to the data center When we think about the evolution of AI technology, developments in machine learning and large language models come readily to mind, as do the latest graphics processing units (GPUs), high-bandwidth... READ MORE

The question of what makes a building "smart" has been debated in the industry for years. ams OSRAM provided a clear answer at Light + Building 2026: it is light — not as illumination, but as a sensory nervous system. It percei... READ MORE
