Lights, made of incredible properties of graphene-containing material, the sale will be available this year. Promised that they will be brighter, cheaper and more durable benefits tenth less energy than the best LED bulbs, writes Sciencealert.com.
Dimmable bulb filament has the form of light-emitting diode (LED), which is covered with graphene - just one atom thick substance that is 200 times stronger than steel, very flexible and very permeable. If all goes according to plan, this will be the first markets will achieve a commercial product from graphene.
Light bulbs such as lean is on graphene conductivity, publish authors from the University of Manchester in the UK. Here the material was discovered in 2004. It was designed for a Nobel Prize.
Currently engaged in the production of LEDs subsidiary "graphene Lighting. Bulb price should be less than 20 dollars.
"Electric light of graphene shows us that graphene products become a reality in just more than a decade after the graphene was first isolated. This, in terms of scientific terms, is a very short period of time - in the press release quoted the University of Manchester deputy Colin Bailey'us. - And this is just the beginning. Our partners are looking for interesting applications. All were here in Manchester. "
Tenth cut energy in our homes is an ambitious start, but there are ways of adapting more - from double to more efficient solar cells smaller transistors.
