Pop singer Britney Spears is the star of an internet website which blends her physique with physics to explain the intricacies of semiconductors and lasers! Entitled `Britney Spears guide to semi conductor physics` the site is studded with pin-up photographs atop lengthy explanations on key semiconductor applications like P-N junctions and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers - the technology that enables fans to hear her voice on CD. The site includes a `Britney Spears lip glossary of semi conductor terms`, a selection of `Wallpaper` pictures for downloading and a contest to give a technological twist to Britney`s songs.

The site author Carl Hepburn, is a postgraduate student at Essex University in Colchester Northeast of London.

The light-hearted site has recorded two million hits so far and has been highly rated by respected journals like Scientific American and New Scientist.
