Isamu Akasaki, who has died aged 92, shared the 2014 Nobel Prize in physics, with Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura, for their invention of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), an energy-efficient technology now used in everything from light bulbs to televisions, computer screens, smartphones and Christmas tree lights.
In an LED, light is produced when negative electrons combine with positive “holes” in thin layers of semiconductors. Red LEDs became available in the 1960s and were widely used in calculators and digital watches. Green LEDs were developed around the same time. But for many years scientists struggled to create blue LEDs – the only ones capable of being used to produce white light. ....

Professor Peter Lachmann, who has died aged 89, was Sheila Joan Smith Professor of Immunology at Cambridge University and made huge contributions to scientific understanding of the “complement system” which contributes to the process by which the body eliminates harmful cells and triggers the production of immune cells known as cytokines.
Lachmann published more than 450 research papers elucidating the complex pathways of the complement system and investigating the immunology of diseases such as measles, systemic lupus erythematosus (a chronic autoimmune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain), mechanisms in tumour immunology and allergy to insect ....
