wont be long to hear the acquisition news i reckon

keep an eye on pcge website - see it if changes

on expectation of update

anyone cares mr calm. market is quite quiet at the moment and everyone gone crypto.

you must work for beaufort?

its feasible

it should be fine, theres not many penny shares about with this price now so i was taking a punt on this flying up - off the radar a bit too

mr calm, do what you want. your choice.

Business Minister Richard Harrington said, �With 200,000 electric vehicles set to be on UK roads by the end of 2018 and worldwide sales growing by 45 per cent in 2016, investment in car batteries is a massive opportunity for Britain and one that is estimated to be worth �5 billion by 2025. �Through our flagship Industrial Strategy and its Future of Mobility and Clean Growth Grand Challenges, we are committed to making Britain the �go-to� destination for the development and deployment of this game-changing technology.

Developments in the Powering of Autonomous Sensors in Smart Vehicles As the number of sensors in Smart Vehicles in rapidly approaching 200, reducing the amount of cabling necessary to connect and power these devices would have significant impact on weight and fuel consumption. A solution is to power these sensor nodes autonomously using energy storage devices such as batteries or capacitors. The source of power needs to provide safe, long life operation, whilst performing optimally in varied demanding conditions (high temperature, vibration). This presentation will review various energy storage solutions including conventional lithium ion batteries (and other chemistries), supercaps and solid state batteries. Opportunities to take advantage of harvested energy will be discussed in several use cases. Dr Tom Foley, Senior Scientist, Ilika Technologies

The project is part of a wider �42m investment by the Faraday Institution in four projects to put the UK on the map as being at the forefront of battery technology worldwide. Combined they have the potential to radically increase the speed with which we are able to make the move to electric vehicles, as well as the speed with which we can decarbonize our energy supply, with obvious benefits to the environment. The other three projects are: Extending battery life led by the University of Cambridge Battery recycling and re-use led by the University of Birmingham Next generation solid state batteries led by the University of Oxford The Multi-Scale Modelling Fast Start project will begin on 1 March 2018 and run until 28 February 2021. The full list of partners is Imperial College London, the University of Southampton, Lancaster University, the University of Bath, University College London, the University of Oxford and WMG, at the University of Warwick.

Four projects have been awarded �42 million of government money between them to conduct research aimed at overcoming battery challenges to accelerate the growth of electric vehicles.tion kicks off The cash has been allocated through the Faraday Institution, set up as the UK�s independent national battery research centre as part of the �246 million push from government to develop battery technology in the UK. The topics for the four projects were chosen in consultation with industry, who will partner closely with each of them. Industrial partners will contribute a total �4.6 million of in-kind support to the following four projects: Extending battery life � The University of Cambridge will collaborate with nine other universities and 10 industry partners to examine how environmental and internal battery stresses damage EV batteries over time. Battery system modelling � Imperial College London will lead a consortium of 23 other university and industry partners to develop new software tools to understand and predict battery performance. The project�s aim is to create accurate models for use by the automotive industry to extend lifetime and performance. Recycling and reuse � The University of Birmingham will lead on this project to identify the ways in which second-hand lithium batteries can be recycled, investigating how best to with the aim to reuse the batteries and their materials. Next generation solid state batteries � The University of Oxford will lead this effort with the intent of breaking down barriers currently preventing the progression to market of solid-state batteries. The ambition is to demonstrate the feasibility of a solid state battery with performance superior to the status quo of lithium ion in EV applications. Business Minister Richard Harrington commented: �With 200,000 electric vehicles set to be on UK roads by the end of 2018 and worldwide sales growing by 45% in 2016, investment in car batteries is a massive opportunity for Britain and one that is estimated to be worth �5 billion by 2025. �Government investment, through the Faraday Institution, in the projects announced today (23 January) will deliver valuable research that will help us seize the economic opportunities presented by battery technology and our transition to a low-carbon economy.�

The government�s newly-launched Faraday Institution said Oxford university will lead the research into solid-state batteries, which are lighter and safer than current electric vehicle batteries. �If successful, this research will put the UK on the map as being at the forefront of battery technology worldwide,� the Faraday Institution said. �It has the potential to radically increase the speed with which we are able to make the move to electric vehicles, as well as the speed with which we can decarbonise our energy supply, with obvious benefits to the environment.� The �42m is the first tranche from a total of �246m the UK government has pledged to invest into battery technology under its Industrial Strategy. The money will be divided among four projects led by different groups of universities. The other projects will be focused on battery life, battery system modelling, and battery recycling, the Faraday Institution said Tuesday. Japan, Korea and China currently dominate global production of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and mobile devices. But finding a next-generation technology could give an advantage to countries such as the UK. Solid state batteries replace a liquid electrolyte with a solid one and use lithium metal at the anode, rather than graphite as is standard in current lithium-ion batteries. The batteries will require a new manufacturing process, which could enable UK companies to compete with the Asian giants such as Panasonic and LG Chem. �We can double quadruple spending and you�re not going to outspend the competition � we have to try to do things a different way,� Peter Littlewood, founding executive chair of the Faraday Institution, said.

he sounds like David Attenborough.

better to do given we are posting on HER at 11.45 on a saturday night

lol that rns is really not relevant, the RNS that is relevant is SP loading up. simple.

probably trading bud, i got this in 3 accounts

Key in pharma is your marketing and Ad spend to get the hospitals to take the drug on, pretty sure we are in safe hands with GL. he aint going to mess this up - he has taken it this far hasnt he?

Business in stronger position with AVC Immedia on board. �Immedia Group enters the new financial year in good shape; we remain confident in our ability to further develop our activities in the UK and across Europe and the management team continue to be encouraged by the pipeline of opportunities and outlook for the business over the medium term.� Immedia�s clients include HSBC, Superdrug, O2, Subway, JD Sports, Burberry and Ikea.

lol see posters on ADVFN actually think any existing holder is dumb enough to sell this. they ll be paying �5+ - not much free float around at all.
