Graphene is a two-dimensional lattice of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern, renowned for its exceptional electrical conductivity, thermal transport, and mechanical strength. Turbostratic ...

A collaboration between mechanical engineers from the US and Korea has resulted in the creation of the world's thinnest light bulb, which is made from wonder material graphene. While we've seen ...

Researchers create a prototype bulb with a carbon nanotube in place of the standard tungsten filament. It uses less power, burns brighter and could lead to the first major overhaul in bulb design in a ...

According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the extreme conditions created inside Edison’s carbon filament bulbs in those ...
