You'll need that if you're to recoup your Tesla losses!

So many possibilities! Meanwhile, in the real world, the share price is back into the 80s...

Evening Folk,

A lot going on in the solar panel world. Note this new way to use perovskites

on top of silicon to 'flip' the blue light to red for the silicon below !



Note last paragraph:



Oxford PV in the United Kingdom and Saule Technologies in Warsaw are already field

testing their perovskite-silicon. (NOT the blue to red 'flip' method)

grabster, you have mail...

Hi teepee you son of a gun. What can you spot on that list that relates to the big five?Well it does say concrete;)

Interesting article from graphene info
Site

Indian team develops graphene-based technology for prevention of drunk driving
In April 2018, researchers at the India-based Uttarakhand Residential University, RI Instruments and Innovationin developed a graphene-based technology to prevent vehicles from operating if the driver is drunk. Now, the same team produced a prototype that will be based on graphene generated from waste products and wild grasses as one of the components.

Graphene has an important role in the device as graphene-coated electrodes can catalyze the process of oxidation of ethyl alcohol into acetic acid. The concentration of alcohol will automatically disconnect the device, the team explained. The driver, while at the driving seat, has to blow the graphene sensor on the device to start the vehicle. This will immediately activate the sensor that will analyze and estimate the liquor content present in the blood of the driver.

The engine of the vehicle will not start in case the presence of alcohol is more than the allowed limit under the Motor Vehicle Act, the researchers said. If the driver gets someone else to blow the graphene-coated sensor, the infrared feature of the sensor will analyze it and the vehicle will not start. In case the driver feels sleepy while driving, the object and imaging module of the sensor will analyze his eye movements and will alert the co-passengers. The imaging technique will also send an alert in case the driver is talking on his mobile phone.

Sorry if I nailed this 140p to 87pEasy lesson for you retirement DONT CHASE CHARTS happy new year my friend Loved the banter in 2019 Good health and happiness in 2020And a 50p entry into VRS..that's where I will buy some x

The FTSE 100 is up about 15% this year

[mavfav] 30/12/2019 19:30

There are a lot of environmental that had outside and uncontrollable influences on shares this year like brexit and us/China talks etc These appear to be coming to a conclusion and then the brakes are off I know nooothing

[woodpeckers] 30/12/2019 19:24

I really believe that the worst is over... the markets have been horrendous this year..anyone who has battled their way through and has come through it feeling that they are still/now in the right place has done well...
2020 will hopefully be a whole new ballgame...a bit more stability wouldn't go amiss...
There has been a huge amount of money sat on the sidelines...

Where would you want your money to be in 2020....?

4th Industrial Revolution company maybe...

Was chatting to someone today and used the words ’tipping point’…it made me realise that it was because I’d heard it so much recently when reading about graphene so thought I’d do a quick google search…

For anyone who doubts that’s it happening and happening now…

So many people can’t all be wrong…

“The Graphene Industry Gathers As The Market Reaches Tipping Point”


“Since its last showcase event in 2017, and the opening of the GEIC in 2018, graphene is now reaching a tipping point in its research and commercialisation.”


“As graphene appears to be reaching its tipping point …”


“Graphene has reached a tipping point and we’re seeing real-world benefits living up to the early excitement of just a few years ago.”


“Since its last showcase event in 2017, and the opening of the GEIC in 2018, graphene is now reaching a tipping point in its research and commercialisation.”


“With large scale production finally in sight, I think the tipping point for graphene could be just around the corner.”


“Since 2019 marked the "‘tipping point' of new (graphene) products and applications in everyday life,’" according to James Baker CEng FIET, CEO of Graphene@Manchester, what can we expect in 2020? 


LEADING GRAPHENE INNOVATOR SEES GRAPHENE MARKET AT A TIPPING POINT


..and though not using quite those words…

“We stand today on the cusp of The Graphene Age.”
Boris Johnson

“It's going to be very exciting to see what happens. We are watching the birth of a new industry as graphene matures and becomes more commercially viable.”
Terrance Barkan

“This is a pivotal time for graphene development. ” Dr. Zina Jarrahi Cinker

Neill has said that we are on the brink of commercial discussions, imo, 2020 has much to look forward to for this company.I'll be holding all of my shares when the good news lands...

Have a great New Year guys...

We are on 4th phase testing which is the last phase in pharmaceuticals

I'm really interested in our zap'n'go and Gnanomat involvements.Until the speed of charge improves by a step function I can only see me going for a mild hybrid. All in all I found this link below very interesting.https://apple.news/AQZlI0mL5SV-t3qzIqd5o7Q Very very open to facts and views on next gen EVs and if we'll be involved, marginally, or somewhere in between.

Hi shorter scum

[rainbow23] 30/12/2019 15:49

A late Xmas present from VRS for the shorters today to add to the many profitable days throughout 2019. Roll on 2020 for more of the same and another transformational year for the share price. My 12 month prediction is 40p. Ricketts has delivered naff all and is never likely to.

Nice of outgoing BoE Manager Mr Carney to warn fund managers that they need to get out of fossil fuels fast

".. he re-iterated his warning that unless firms woke up to what he called the climate crisis, many of their assets would become worthless..."
".. A question for every company, every financial institution, every asset manager, pension fund or insurer: What’s your plan?"



With a whole raft of new nanomaterials coming along, including graphene, there will presumably be a few fund mangers looking hard at how to divert their resources away from oil,gas & coal towards a sector that has a vibrant future..

Hello Super,

Yes a lot of money left with ongoing uncertainty in UK BUT maybe we will see

a turn around.

Comments like these in the Expess encourage me:



Around £3.8billion has been ploughed into stocks funds after the Prime Minister’s landslide win – the biggest influx of cash for more than four years.

Large inflows of money into stocks are a signal of rising investor confidence. Domestic shares are thought to be 20 per cent cheaper than similar assets abroad.

Goldman Sachs analyst Sharon Bell said the strong performance of domestic stocks will “continue as the UK delivers better growth”.

We hope VRS catches some good 'waves' !

Hi Nicholas, are you still the expert on Tesla?

[rogerbridge] 30/12/2019 12:56

I received an email from a guy who attended the AGM and decided to investigate further.
He said that he is now convinced that VRS is the real deal and He is adding to his small position.
He quoted AECOM Airbus and others as examples.
I do not know when he will add, as he is fully invested elsewhere.
