I love living in the future dept.
I think I forgot to blog the fat and acne-destroying lasers they're working on when I found that story last week, but I'm not going to forget a new light source:
The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) emits a brilliant white light when attached to an electricity supply.
The material, described in the journal Nature, can be printed in wafer thin sheets that could transform walls, ceilings or even furniture into lights.
The OLEDs do not heat up like today's light bulbs and so are far more energy efficient and should last longer.
They also produce a light that is more akin to natural daylight than traditional bulbs.
They've still got a couple of wrinkles to work out, but this sounds pretty awesome.

The first thing that came to mind were those multi-hued walls that you always find in alien bases in X-COM.

Funny you should mention that, I've been thinking about that game recently.
