Why the graphene light bulb could switch on a new era of innovation

Graphene, the world’s wonder material, has been talked about and hyped so much ever since it was isolated in crystal form in 2004 that some surely thought it could never live up to its early promise. Now, just a decade after its official discovery and five years after two physicists at the University of Manchester won the Nobel Prize for this discovery, we’re about to see the first commercially viable consumer product using this material: the graphene light bulb.
