A FURNESS firm has won a Government grant to realise a £1.27 million project that will use nanotechnology to consign the humble light bulb to the history books, reports Jennie Dennett.
Ulverston-based Forge Europa, of Princes Street, is in a celebratory mood this week after the Department of Trade and Industry gave £500,000 to its research programme to refine Light Emiting Diodes or LEDs by manipulating materials one-millionth the size of a pinhead.
The money will be used by Forge Europa along with project partners Semelab of Leicestershire and post-graduate researchers at Cambridge University and Greenwich University to develop nanophosphors' for displays and lighting.
