logorry, does your lady friend have any friends for me? I have been so lonely on this board recently. Nobody wants to talk to me.

[nellyb] 20/12/2018 13:46

club, is that really you - or another wind-up.

more to come

'In addition, the companies are at an advanced stage of launching a range of mobile phone and tablet device accessories utilising Nanene, which will also feature the Nanene branding.'

'...to launch a new range of earphones and other audio equipment and accessories'

Hope so boots. I believe the orig collab rns mentioned speakers ? If so, an interest already expressed, and no wonder after such a test ! It's likely a future collab re speakers etc would be non exclusive too, based upon past vrs behaviour ? :) aimo. Best ellis

Pmsl ... buy buy buy

Stop making me laff ffs, I get giddy and buy chunks of shares in VRS :-)

Shaping up nicely here to ping us back up to the 200 range.. can somebody get another cheap bottle of sherry for TK?

My money is on B&W ellis



HF,
Busy bee in the lead up to christmas :)

We haven’t heard from Bootie recently in his usual guise and he likes a bit of a laugh! Wonder if he’a busy pulling Kempie’s legs as well as ours and as a result the logs now have rot.
Happy Christmas all and a simply wonderful New Year. Also belated thanks Scrutable for thrilling analysis.

GEIC
whats not to like ?


Research and innovation into advanced materials is a key commitment at The University of Manchester, focusing on solving some of the world's most critical problems.

The challenges ( perhaps graphene related)
Globally, corrosion costs more than $2 trillion per year (World Corrosion Organization).

Approximately 3.5 million people die each year due to inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene (United Nations).

Deep-sea platforms drill for oil 10km below the seabed, at temperatures of more than 200°F and under pressures of 20,000psi (BP).

How are we tackling them?

Single-layer graphene is a million times thinner than a human hair and will revolutionise healthcare, water and consumer electronics.

We're home to the global knowledge base in 2D materials, with over 200 dedicated researchers, two Nobel laureates and more than £170 million of current investment.

Our 3D characterisation capability is enabling us to study the properties of new protective coatings for materials such as aluminium used in planes.

Whoever it was who tested grabs, they must be all over +nanene now i imagine. We know per tweet neill and media met a third party in september i believe ? Glalth. Best ellis

Bowers & Wilkins were mentioned or hinted at several months ago as being in the frame regarding Versarien material in speakers. Anyone picked up any further hints from them lately? They have some nice connections in the car audio field:

Ha ha,, troll.I'll whinge about what I like.... and I've NEVER , EVER ....had an opinion about how the company should be run. I'm not very good at running my own!

"Masdar Institute, The University of Manchester launch joint graphene research program. Composites will be an initial area of focus."

News Post: 1/28/2016

"The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (Masdar City, Abu Dhabi) and The University of Manchester (Manchester, uK) have launched a research collaborative research program covering three projects in graphene and 2D materials. The three projects will focus on composites, sensors and membranes, which will be led by faculty members from both research institutions.

The projects will respectively explore the development of novel low-density graphene-based foams for various engineering applications, inkjet-printed graphene micro-sensors for energy and defense applications and graphene-enabled ion exchange membranes for desalination.

“Graphene has huge potential for applications in a large range of sectors, and we are delighted to be collaborating with The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology on these important areas of research,” said James Baker, Graphene business director for The University of Manchester. “The University of Manchester has more than 235 researchers working on graphene and 2D materials and many will now have the opportunity to further their research by working with Masdar. Our partnership with Masdar Institute is crucial to the commercialization of graphene and we look forward to seeing ground-breaking research and into developing exciting applications with potential industrial partners as a result of this activity.”

One project seeks to develop novel low-density graphene-based nanocomposite foams for engineering applications that include energy. The second project seeks to develop inexpensive fabrication methods for sensor devices that can operate in challenging environments often associated with high temperature energy and military applications. Other work aims to conduct a systematic study of the potential benefits of graphene-enabled ion exchange membranes for water desalination purposes.

Meanwhile, work is progressing on schedule for the £60 million Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) building being constructed as part of a collaboration between The University of Manchester and Masdar, and is set be completed by the end of 2017. The GEIC is partially funded by £15 million from the Higher Education Funding Council for England’s UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF), £5 million from the Innovate UK and by £30 million from Masdar.

The GEIC is expected to accelerate the arrival of graphene products in the marketplace. Commercialization of graphene research has already begun from projects associated with the University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute, including graphene light-bulb and graphene RFID tags. Therefore, current research projects may ultimately be targets for commercialization in the GEIC when it is completed in 2017."

New Year resolutions.
I will never whinge about the share price again
I will never again tell Neill Ricketts how to do his job

As oil companies and some resource stocks lose their historical vogue as a ‘roulette type’ gamble with potential blue sky returns. Resources will now transfer to alternative invesments that offer blue sky potential.

My opinion is VRS is one of those and why last year I shifted my invesment strategy from prodominantly oil to prodominantly VRS.

In fact 100% Vrs.

Ha ha ... yes, we have FUSTARIO posting now....It seems like the trolls are back amongst us?I wonder if it's my old mate.... DEAN HAIGH??
