“...producing bright light visible to the naked eye.”
Which is a good thing in a light bulb!
Now, how soon before the EnviroWeenies start screamin’ about ‘graphene’ destroying the planet? ;)

Further Excerpt
**********************************************************
Behind the new development was a team of scientists from Columbia, Seoul National University
(SNU), and Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS). These were led by Young Duck Kim, a postdoctoral research scientist in James Hone’s group at Columbia Engineering.
The new light source development could have a great impact on computing and computer peripherals. First of all these lights are like 'chips', as you can see from the video above, showing how the light emission works. A graphene light chip based upon this development could form the foundation of a photonic circuit. To make such devices possible the team is working on the switching performance of the graphene light chips – it would need to switch very fast to create useful optical communication 'bits'.

Cost? $150 per bulb?? Watt had it right!!!

Graphene is going to change our lives in ways too numerous, to count. Amazing stuff.

I’ve seen four or five videos depicting illustrations of what graphene can do. I’ve never seen actual graphene ever do anything. What’s the difference between graphene and unobtainium or dilithium crystals?

If strips of Graphene were bonded together would it still be Graphene or would it be a piece of Graphite?
