Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED
Rate itMember ratings
The blue LED was supposed to be impossible—until a young engineer proposed a moonshot idea. In 2025, we launched the Elements of Truth game on Kickstarter and were thrilled by the response. We’re now in the final stages of production, with Kickstarter rewards shipping soon. If you missed the campaign, you can now pre-order the retail edition through our new website here - Huge thanks to the UC Santa Barbara Materials Dept ( for taking us around.
