  • Scientists use graphene to create the world's smallest light bulb

    Scientists have created the world's smallest light bulb from a one atom-thick layer of graphene, the miracle material that promises to transform everything from smartphones and computers to cars, buildings and satellites. The ultrathin graphene was turned into a superheated filament - just like the thin wire of an incandescent light bulb - which glowed at a temperature of about 2500C.

    According to scientists the light was so intense it could be seen with the naked eye even though it was on the atomic scale, which meant the high temperatures were confined to a tiny "hot spot" and did not damage the silicon chip on which it was mounted.

      This new type of 'broadband' light emitter can be integrated into chips and will pave the way towards the realisation of atomically thin, flexible, and transparent displays, and graphene-based on-chip optical communications.
