The material strongly absorbs light of all visible wavelengths,[8][9] which accounts for the black color of graphite; yet a single graphene sheet is nearly transparent because of its extreme thinness. The material is about 100 times as strong as would be the strongest steel of the same thickness. In theory a few layers of graphene oxide can be used to filter sea water with practically no energy requirement and very high purity - The implications to world water, agronomics and even climate change are staggering

Simple answer - it's Graphite, Graphene has to be made from Graphite HTH

And philosopher Suzy?

Our weakness is his strength China may well use thsi opportunity to take Taiwan

I think the greeb light is what we have had for the past 10 years

I hate to admit this but I have been in this since the 50P days - and thought it had legs then. If it was 50P based on assumptions and less information about the volume and quality (and no Graphite etc) then, I am hoping it can resume at least the position if the green light is given. I bought at all levels (including 50p since 2008) and stayed in forever until about six weeks ago when I sold all my crappy AIM shares. I then saw what was happening politically in Sweden and tried to buy back in but between Interactive Investor and Barclays dithering couldn't get in until it had risen to 8. Just for the vicarious among you, if it gets to 45p I will have recovered ALL my AIM losses and my wife can stop reminding me of my wisdom. My guess is it will get to 50p maybe 60p and they will get bought but just a guess. I invest in Crypto now and that's even more unfatomable than AIM but so far very rewarding. GLA espcially Suzy and Eric - always helpful and measured posts.

3 Card - I can't tell you what my ad pop-ups are! Someone must have been using my computer

It can when they can produce it in sufficient quantities and it could change parts of the world; Graphite is a starting point. One day they will be able to make Buckminsterfullerene in quantity and that is literally a football shaped set of carbon atoms imagine heaxgons and pentagons joing exactly like a football. You need tons of graphite (or other forms of carbon) but the potental for non oil based lubricants and targeted drug delivery systems is staggering - the drug can sit inside the sphere! Sorry I studied this so it interests me

It's one molecular layer of Graphite Suzy and therefore looks and behaves very differntly. It can be used to filter sea water because the Carbon "mesh" is small enough for water to pass through but not Sodium Chloride. unfortunately it's not as simple as passing through a sieve as salt has a charge attraction ("charge density") for water molecules so water needs to be encouraged to separate itself, it has literally thousands of potentail uses (so does graphite but it is more plentiful and less valuable) I'm really encouraged by recent events but not yet excited

Not the same - same element but differnet structire and properties

Is it graphene or graphite or both? They are similar in structure and identical elemantally but have very different industrial applications and graphene potential is massive

The problem with pop up ads is they refelct what you've been searching for - sometimes embarassing I can imagine

Except they are mostly rugby hooligans

Why do you bother to talk to Bennii? I think he was bullied at school

Bennii, your posts are more child like than most here - your tone is somewhere between arrogance and fury (FFS and FGS not required in posts) Either you can't communicate properly or you secretly fear you were wrong to sell and want us to sell to help reassure you. Either way, I don't want to read rants like yours - I suggest you buy a couple of BEM shares (will ease the pain later) and sit down with a nice cup of tea and leave us mugs hoping we will be rewarded one day

I just love this post Suzy

Bough 5k GBP worth an hour ago - not tshowing

Finally gone mad.... :)

Stefan Löfven believes that there is a growing need for cobalt for electric car manufacturers, a mineral that is also found in the Swedish bedrock, in Berg****en and the Skellefte field, among others.

- Today, that market is completely dominated by China and Congo. But Sweden also has large assets, Löfven told Norrländska Socialdemokraten.

According to Löfven, his message has the full support of all members of the Social Democrats' party board. The Social Democratic mining policy will thus not be affected by the forthcoming change of party leader, writes Norrländska Socialdemokraten
