Oh come on, blue LEDs were a feat of physics and chemistry mastery.

I'm sure they are but they drive me nuts. If I ever become filthy rich and in doing so sell my soul and become a bad person, one of my priorities will doubtless be to have the blue led inventors hunted down remorselessly.[1]

A black sharpie over the offending led indicators will fix that. Now you can enjoy your sleep uninterrupted by dreams of manhunts and mephistophelian bargains.

Veritasium has a great video on the difficult physics of the blue led. Highly recommend if you think it didn't deserve the prize.
