    Article states the use of an electron beam to enable this. So not currently scalable, but still a seemingly significant result.

      Oh I know, just put it in an oven. Trust me, I saw one video on impossible blue LEDs, I know what I’m talking about.

      Can you expand on this? There used to be multiple electron beams in every house in America.

        Ok, maybe it’s possible that they aren’t using a very focused electron beam, but usually when scientists think about using an electron beam they mean something inside of a machine like an SEM or e-beam lithograph. These only operate on small areas.

        If an unfocused beam (and therefore lower energy density) can be used, then this could likely be scaled more easily. Even if a focused beam is needed, scaling may still be possible, but will likely require additional developments to create that process.
