In the UK and Taiwan dispute graphene LED lighting technology

According to The IEEE Spectrum, citing The Times （The Sunday Times）， reports The BGT portfolio of products there are some products, based on The technology of graphene NGI researchers concerns are not unfounded.BGT most compelling focus on LED lighting, it is generally believed this is NGI in graphene application technology of the first major breakthrough.

Surprisingly, the Sunday times when asked whether the BGT with related technology, the company did not deny it.In fact, CEO of BGT Lai Zhongping claims to be the company invented the graphene LED bulbs, and control of all key patents.Lai also to yourself and the University of Manchester （the University of Manchester） are proud of the joint venture.

The British company held by the NGI derived a majority stake in the company, make its have the right to request the ownership of the development of technology, by the NGI to the British government in 50 million fund allocation from four years ago, questionable decisions in graphene research.

NGI won the British government investment of 38 million pounds and European regional development fund （EuropeanRegionalDevelopmentFund） investment after the 23 million pounds, all should not be in such situation development.Britain in the past due to insufficient on nano science and technology investment, the result let countries such as America, Japan, Germany backwardness to;The investment objective should be to avoid Britain again.

The key to reverse all will be the graphene.Two Russian scholar KonstantinNovoselov AndreGeim and at the university of Manchester in 2004 to create graphene, Britain who owns all the property of graphene technology, started to launch more British into a series of graphene center project.

But from now, the British government investment in graphene research, the result will be and nano science and technology is also developed by the technology, the technology of related applications is done in other countries.
