The Tesla battery tweet!

Didn't take long for our endless 10k seller to get back into the action.

Which twitter (tweet) is dynamite, can't see that?

Neils last twitter is dynamite!

Oh and the 76kg equates to just over a day for VRS to do as new 60 litre per day kit was due to arrive.

Just for clarity Super, is the ink sold on by HAYD actually produced by us? I know they don't make their own graphene.

JLR need advanced solid state fast recharge packs. And, as most readers know its H Q is in Solihull.

We seem to have buyer lurking. 40k appears in since late last week in auction during the day on the bid then 25k and other smaller bits in the closing auction last night.

It may be part of the dip yesterday was to fill that 40k.

I've noted Hayd's ink deal over 18 months.

For the record 76kg in VRS terms would be between 760 grams and 7,600 grams of graphene depending on what type of ink they want. It was a specific question on ink when a few of us were at the Cambridge graphene centre recently.

Best wishes re your dad, Woody. My elderly mum (96) suffered a nasty fall a few weeks ago which badly bashed her face. At her age we didn't expect her to easily recover from the injuries and from the emotional distress, but she quickly did. Hope your dad proves to have equally surprising resilience.

Hi Woody, just caught up and would like to add my best wishes to the many you have received from the rest of the VRS family. It shows how life can turn on a sixpence and I am so pleased that it came up with the right result on this occasion.

Morning. Part of the monies paid for 64% of Gnanomat was to help build up the pilot plant Oct 18.
Neill was in Spain last week wasn't he?
External EU supply being built ?

About time Neill pulled a monsters rns out to break the long awaited rise to 185p, right off for lunch, nice weather in SE Asia, looking at all that snow in Europe made me feel a bit chilly. Relax, enjoy life, stay healthy and wealthy everyone.

Hi Woody, just caught up with your alarming day. So sorry too, but hey, what a fabulous family of supporters we have here to buck us up when times are tough. Bravo all!

Lucky, most likely yes - Win/win deal here from this quote within the press release at the time. "Cambridge Graphene brings novel graphene technology and expertise to Versarien and will benefit from Versarien's manufacturing capabilities and broader reach.” bearing in mind, vrs had already announced a method to scale up +nanene rns july 15 - is this 'know how' the manufacturing capability referred to ? Aimo. Best ellis

'Versarien acquires majority stake in University of Cambridge spin-out Cambridge Graphene.'

Jan 31, 2017 05:22 PM

A majority stake in Cambridge Graphene Ltd., a spin-out company from the University of Cambridge, has been acquired by Versarien plc.

Cambridge Graphene develops inks based on graphene and related materials using processes developed at the Cambridge Graphene Centre. The spin-out company has commercialised graphene inks for novel technology applications.

Versarien, headquartered in Cheltenham, is an engineering solutions company that delivers novel technologies for industrial applications. Through subsidiary companies, Versarien delivers targeted solutions as well as research and development into new, complementary technologies. The acquisition of Cambridge Graphene positions Versarien at the centre of the commercial development of graphene both in the UK and globally.

Cambridge Graphene was founded as a spin-out of the Cambridge Graphene Centre. The mission of the Cambridge Graphene Centre is to investigate the science and technology of graphene and other carbon allotropes, layered crystals and hybrid nanomaterials. This engineering innovation centre allows partners to meet and establish joint industrial-academic activities to promote innovative and adventurous research with an emphasis on applications.

2-DTech, a spin-out enterprise from the University of Manchester, is an existing subsidiary of Versarien which also focuses on graphene-related technologies. Both the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester are centres for excellence in graphene technology.

Following the acquisition of Cambridge Graphene, both Universities will be ultimate shareholders in Versarien, with the expertise of both universities enhancing the company’s ability to pursue the market opportunities for graphene both in the UK and internationally.

Mark Shepherd, CEO of Cambridge Graphene said “This is an exciting development for Cambridge Graphene and will bring significant benefit to both companies, enhancing the prospects of technology developed at Cambridge Graphene, and Versarien as a whole.  Cambridge Graphene brings novel graphene technology and expertise to Versarien and will benefit from Versarien's manufacturing capabilities and broader reach.”

Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, said “We are delighted with the acquisition of Cambridge Graphene and the opportunities it brings us. This addition to our existing graphene operations and in particular, 2-DTech, which we acquired from Manchester University in April 2014, bridges the gap between the two centres of excellence for graphene and between them really puts us at the centre of the graphene universe"

Prof Andrea Ferrari, Director of the Cambridge Graphene Centre, said: “The ultimate goal of the Cambridge Graphene Centre is to help transition graphene and related materials from the lab to the factory floor. This investment shows that we are on the right path and we are thrilled to have Versarien join, via Cambridge Graphene Ltd., our growing list of industrial partners”.

Cambridge Enterprise, the commercialisation arm of the University, have supported Cambridge Graphene and their graphene ink technologies since the company’s founding. Dr Margaret Wilkinson, Technology Manager at Cambridge Enterprise, said: “We are pleased to see further commercial activity from the Cambridge Graphene Centre. We look forward to working with Versarien and we hope the acquisition will lead to exciting future developments and commercial opportunities”.

Wondering if the LPE method of Cambridge Graphene and some of the (secret) ingredients used in the 2D Tech process have resulted in some joined up thinking, did they have a light bulb moment?

[luckyorange] 14/1/2019 21:09

Not one for speculation and prefer hard facts but I do wonder if there is a correlation between the 'different method' for producing graphene without using the current machine and the tall guy in the photo here....

[woodpeckers] 14/1/2019 20:18

chezt, that is exactly what I was told today, plus the fact that he has dementia apparently means that his brain is smaller so there is more room for the bleed. Glad to hear that your dad came through, thanks.
Thanks again guys for all your comments.
