Investors eyeing the next big thing in terms of a disruptive technology, could perhaps do worse than home in on AIM quoted Versarien, a company operating in the exciting graphene space.
Whilst Versarien PLC certainly isn’t alone in an area that looks destined to deliver sizeable if not exponential growth and nor does it meet the strict fundamental criteria that those of us often look for when investing, it nevertheless provides for significant, if speculative growth potential over the coming years.
For those who are unfamiliar with graphene, put simply, it is a quite remarkable material that possesses distinct properties with the potential to revolutionise industry and in turn, our own lives.
Although scientists around the world were already aware of the existence of graphene it wasn’t until 2004 that two researchers at Manchester University worked out exactly just how to extract the atom thick two-dimensional material.
