Everybody has their favourite app, gadget or new technology that can make life easier, work more productive, and the future that much more exciting, and entrepreneurs are no different.
For Virgin founder and disruptive technology fan Richard Branson, it’s graphene, the world’s thinnest material, set to revolutionise life as we know it, that he’s buzzing about. He says: “I’m always on the lookout for technologies that benefit the human race, help make our planet a better place to live and have a positive impact on our climate. That’s why I’m so excited about the emergence of graphene.
“It’s the world’s first two dimensional material, just one atom thick, and has proven potential to be the next revolutionary step in building lighter, safer and more efficient planes. We’re already in conversation with the National Graphene Institute to find out more about the possibilities of graphene being the catalyst of for an aerospace revolution. It has the potential to make safer planes whilst reducing their environmental impact at the same time.”
