One of the latest applications for graphene is in a light bulb; University of Manchester spin off Graphene Lighting is working with the National Graphene Institute on what is said to be the first commercial application for the material in the UK.
But how will the light bulb perform? How much will it cost? How long will it last? We don't know as yet.
The announcement, made at the end of March, reads more like a statement attached to financial information. Although the light bulb is said to be on the shelves in a 'matter of months', words like 'could' and 'expected' suggest that testing is still in progress and that the graphene light bulb's commercial debut may be a bit further off.
