The thinnest known fabric, it is also one of the strongest - and it is going to revolutionise the 21st Century. But how? Is there enough investment available to ensure the UK is at the forefront of its development? George Osborne committed £21.5m in the Budget, but is this enough now that Samsung , IBM and a host of other companies are investing heavily in Graphene research?
