Does that mean the supply is out from the fund and pi's are selling coz scared?

Level 2

For now it's looking like it's just PI led and normal market circs.

The Motley fool bit is just an attempt to advertise HUR for PIs in a flier to buy some Hurricane oil, I assume the author holds shares in Hurricane. He's tipping it at 50p, I and others thought 10p was good entry point and we discussed it at the time.

I'm sure most holders have watched this, but just in casehttps://youtu.be/UTzntFw-EgU

On the domain name chat I thought it best to register www.24carrotconcrete.com ASAP before you guys grab it. :-)

If it worked, Forest. Still knackered as far as I can see.



It would be reassuring to know if the email alert system still functions.

Dmorty
If it helps take a look on the Vrs website at Rns over the last 12 months.

They give you another point of view.

Same carrot story here. U of Exeter and graphene get a mention.

Thanks for the info grabster it does make motley fool look a bit silly though.

[dmorty87] 13/8/2018 07:46

eel tamer what does the article say as i can't find it.

[grabster] 13/8/2018 07:31

dmorty - Motley Fool merely hosts articles by assorted authors - so no surprise when contradictory stances appear ;-)

On this occasion it is Roland Head, whose track record at choosing when to buy and sell stocks is erratic and not impressive - he seems to lurch into and out of stocks:

There is also a quite negative article on motley fool saying Vrs is overvalued etc this does contradict earlyier positive posts on there but that's motley fool for you.

[1teepee] 13/8/2018 07:26

Off topic but plus 500 made more in their 2nd half the the whole previous year. Not ramping just amazed

Carrot tinted spectacles luckykids?

[runthejoules] 13/8/2018 07:24

Eel tamer, selling all my £VRS first thing, buying carrots.

[dmorty87] 13/8/2018 07:22

There is also a

🤣 I like that one Eel tamer, bad carrot crop this year though so it won't be any time soon.

Interestingly on the Great Wall of China they added 'sticky rice' to the mortar when they built it which made it very strong, very little that is new!

[luckykids] 13/8/2018 07:10

Apparently very good for tinted glass as well

[eel tamer] 13/8/2018 07:04

Slight exaggerations on the quantity of graphene produced (graphite) but gives the gist.

Graphene could be key to China's self-made chips

The rhetoric coming from the Trump administration may be targeting more than just matters of trade. Some say China's rising technology capabilities are an underlying issue. From semiconductors to microchips, Chinese scientists are constantly working to reduce reliance on American technology. One place to start could be replacing silicon with graphene.

A total of 16 companies brought their graphene projects to a roadshow competition in Qitaihe – a northeastern Chinese city whose graphene industry is booming. Zhang Shilong, a 29-year-old engineer, is one of them. By mixing flexible insulator with graphene, Zhang makes what he calls "magic fiber." He brought his magic fiber project to the roadshow.

"At the moment, China's research and development on the use of graphene is leading the world. It could be our 'secret weapon' as we look to make gains in certain industries," said Zhang.

But Zhang's project just demonstrates graphene's basic capabilities. Experts say using it instead of silicon in building semiconductors and microchips will shorten processing time and enlarge storage.

"There are many possible third generation materials that can replace silicon. Graphene stands out among them all. But it will be difficult to put into effective use; it is like the crown jewel everyone is chasing after," said Li Yichun, secretary-general of the China Innovation Alliance of the Graphene Industry.

Research shows that graphene's electron mobility under room temperature is ten times that of silicon yet consumes only half of the energy. In addition, China has a huge reserve of graphite – the raw material for making graphene, and it is also possible to make synthetic graphene.

It is estimated China can now produce about 3,000 tons of graphene a year. But in order to help mining cities become graphene powerhouses that can compete with international tech hubs like Silicon Valley in the US, graphene makers need to take on projects that fully realize the material's potential as "the next black gold."



Edit

Missed the last sentence 😜

"But they also point out that before it all happens, Chinese makers need to be sure that they can produce quality graphene consistently."

craigy,

"lots of missed opportunities"

But we're not going to miss this one!

Smallfry glad to see there are a few patriots around yet helping to put the Great back into Britain, I concur with your thoughts I remember watching a snippet on the news years ago about the www before it took off, I also caught a snippet a few years ago about a revolutionary new technology called nanotechnology and how it was going to change the world....best regards Haz
