I will have half a pint of what your drinking .... lol :-0
And then get the taste ... ;-)

The head of the US patent office said they should close it in 1901 because they'd discovered all there was to discover. It was four years after the vacuum flask in his defence.Since then we've had non stick frying pans.But this!This is so vast, and a great base for increasing scope of knowledge . Medical, Transport, Electronics, Building, power from sustainable sources.Russian origin in terms of Mind, Manchester and Cambridge ..development.Gloucestershire in terms of Entrepreneurship and Management.I'm now going to look up the Marcap of the worlds top companies! Lol gla

Good point SG, I was hoping that the ISO would clarity things, but it’s going to be a long job.

[ellissj] 06/4/2019 09:23

Indeed superg, i don't spill all my guts on here - plenty going on. No brainwashing here, i have confidence in my research and neill and co. The potential is exponential, as will the rewards be when it is realised. Thus i hold through the highs and lows, each to their own. When the share price falls many find a reason to disbelieve the story and sell. And vice versa, as it rises - they find a reason to believe and buy. I imagine many who sold out higher up in the autumn/winter will be having another look here ! That's life. Thats ppl. Thats risk/reward. Glalth. Aimo. Dyor. Best ellis

Lucky

I lost interest on the word Aussie. Dinner plate sized boron isn't going to mix well and its boron rather than hbn.

Thomas Swann were doing hbn and in theory should have won the CPI tender but VRS did having only just moved into that area.

The CPI tender was for Boron nitride and the spec was 1um to 2 um, VRS won the tender.

So no, the boron nitride world and others don't want dinner plate sized boron.

Brexeneresources.com.au? BORE on the ASX.

[luckykids] 06/4/2019 09:03

Hi Roger. We are already behind the competition on this one. I only read on Monday that there is an Aussie mining company with a mine in Papua New Guinea I think, that has a seam in it with the purest boron in the world that are already able to produce platelets under seven layers the size of dinner plates.Neill has got his work cut out to catch up on this one

Roger on the Nanene point

I have alway called Nanene graphene nano platelets.

How ever as XG sciences have found a way to call theirs graphene nano platelets (anything more than 10 layers), then if we go by that we should be calling VRS GNPs just graphene.

Just saying re any future confusion, it's just another step in the graphene confession game because 95% out there produce multi layer graphene nano platelets, which is relatively easy to do and hence so many are doing it, we know it as graphite.

The fact is the range of gains from graphene falls off a cliff when you move to the average 10 plus area. Which is why the standards have come in.

Multi-layer Gnps have their uses, thermal, modulus, electrical and so on but they are not graphene.

[1teepee] 06/4/2019 08:49

I just wonder why bedimenional get mentions as a Graphene flake manufacturer and versarien don't get named unless they asked not to , to avoid hype in the stock?

[rogerbridge] 06/4/2019 08:44

When investors talk about Versarien it’s usually about Nanene, but as we know, boron nitride has many potential uses and there are about 200 other materials in the pipeline. Vwerarien is not a one trick pony.

[superg1] 06/4/2019 08:10

Hence as per my previous posts as there are some big things going near term all the other numerous exciting things going on can take a back seat.

Investors want big news and I suspect they will get it, for some though I believe they definitely won't be expecting it, or the size of it.

Ellis

I tend to keep posting all the info (believe it or not to a minimum) as it can cause information overload.

There are so many paths and connections.

EG I spotted a UK nuclear doc some time back and it had various bits in it which could create interest.

EG Cambridge working with TATA Steel re still graphene and energy storage. You can then link Thales on energy storage to Cambridge.

The if you look at the GEIC advisory panel

Airbus, Akzonobel, BAE Systems, BP, GKN Aerospace, Johnson & Johnson, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Tata Steel and Thales.

CAMBRIDGE

Energy: Graphene supercapacitors and batteries, developed by Thales Research and Technology (France), IIT - Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italy) and the Cambridge Graphene Centre (UK) which can be printed, have high energy density and rapidly charge and discharge will be used in mobile devices and make high power more portable.


WMG

The University of Warwick and Thales UK are seeking a top class candidate to undertake a case studentship at WMG, University of Warwick. You will be based at The University of Warwick, with a work placement at Thales Research and Technology in Palaiseau near Paris, France.

VRS news

Versarien has been working with WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group) and their partner companies and scientists at the universities of Warwick and Cambridge


It goes on and on. I could probably post all day about what Thales, WMG and various others that appear connected to VRS are doing on various projects and still not get it all in.

"GRAPHENE AND THE NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING AUTHORITY IN THE UK." Posted By Graphene Council, The Graphene Council, 9 hours ago.

"Emerging technologies such as graphene are being investigated by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) in the UK for their potential to improve decommissioning of nuclear sites.

The Challenge

To identify how graphene, an emerging technology, could improve delivery of NDA’s mission.

The Solution

Review the properties of graphene including the latest developments and areas for potential deployment.

Technology Review : Graphene – a form of carbon consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice with unique chemical and physical properties.

Expected Benefits: Raising awareness of new emerging technology across the NDA Group and supply chain.

The NDA published a report on its findings and research over the period of 2016 - 2018: "Graphene and its use in nuclear decommissioning", produced in collaboration with NSG Environmental, the University of Manchester and the National Physical Laboratory

Highlights:

Graphene’s chemical and physical properties are unique:

- one of the thinnest but also strongest materials

- conducts heat better than all other materials

- conducts electricity

- is optically transparent but so dense that it is impermeable to gases

Developments in graphene-based technology have been rapid in a number of areas, including advanced electronics, water filtration and high-strength materials. NDA identified graphene as an emerging technology that could be useful to improve delivery of its mission.

NDA carried out a technology review to compare the properties and potential uses of graphene against the challenges facing the UK in decommissioning its earliest nuclear sites. The opportunities identified included:

Advanced materials: Graphene-doped materials could help to immobilise nuclear wastes.Composites incorporating graphene could be used in the construction of stronger buildings or containers for storing nuclear materials.Cleaning up liquid wastes: Graphene-based materials could absorb or filter radioactive elements, helping to clean up spills or existing radioactive wastes.Sensors: Graphene in sensors could improve the detection of radiation or monitor for the signs of corrosion in containers.Batteries: Graphene could produce smaller, longer-lasting batteries that would enable robots to operate for longer in contaminated facilities.

NDA also assessed the potential limitations in graphene’s use to provide a balanced assessment.

The issues identified included:
- cost
- scale-up
- environmental concerns
- lack of standardization
- knowledge regarding radiation tolerance

The report was shared with technical experts across the NDA group, published online and summarised in the Nuclear Institute’s journal: Nuclear Futures. As the technology moves on from early-stage research, NDA and its businesses are continuing to monitor developments, such as the recently opened Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC), with the aim of supporting graphene-based technologies and accelerating their uptake within the nuclear decommissioning sector.

NDA is progressing further projects investigating the potential of other emerging technologies. Engagement continues with academia and industry to identify innovations that could improve delivery of the mission."

Chimp

Ignore it's just someone trying to promote their twitter page, every post they do on various stocks has a link to twitter. It's just spam trying to get followers.

Chumbo
I’m enjoying being part of the industrial revolution with graphene and Vrs first and hope to retire on that .

Buts thanks for the info on Boro certainly good to here I expect we will hear of many new materials coming of age .
I hope you are enjoying our graphene journey with Vrs as we all are .

Bore’ophone - yawn
Horribly expensive to make, oxidises fast, almost impossible to handle..and its uses? (MIT)

Edit
Apologies, that's childish. Probably what people thought about graphene in its early days...

[1teepee] 06/4/2019 07:05

We are going to also have silicene soon
