BLUE swept off mosquitoes



Through this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, the first time we had not to pay attention now fresh blue LED. Blue LED lighting for the human to make a great contribution to the future it might be added a new use: insecticide.

  Tohoku University scientists said they found that when the blue LED is adjusted to a specific transmission frequency, it will have the ability to kill mosquitoes. Blue LED on the sound, if the technology is mature it will be the best "pesticides."

  In the experiment, the scientists found that when the light from the ultraviolet (378 nm) becomes visible blue light (508 nm), the insects were all killed, no one escaped. On the other hand, blue red and yellow good partner has no such ability.

  Why is this blue LED lethal? Now scientists unclear principles. They speculated that blue light may lead to a large number of insects generation of reactive oxygen species, which can destroy a large area of the body's cells, eventually leading to his death
