Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

With a 4k1 collector resistor and 16mA drive into the led, the chosen (read ‘cheapest on ebay’) 6N135 is supposed to beat 1.5μs for both turn on and turn off, with typical figures of 90ns and 800ns.
