Electronic and photonic materials research is invested in III-V nitrides, carbon nanotubes, fiber optic sensors, quantum dots and computational modeling. Engineering breakthroughs—like the blue LED—were produced by Boston University labs and interdisciplinary researchers continue to explore myriad applications in such areas as health care, national defense and information systems.
