Stephan Bernstein, CEO of GreenRoc, details the PFS results for the new graphite processing plant. Watch the video here.
Just popped by this morning as my work location is changing and it won’t be so easy soon.
They are now putting the floor beams down for the highest basement level. Probably will be above ground by the time they announce machine speeds achieved for superficial tumours this quarter. Unfortunately they are not as quick as the skyscraper builders in Manhattan who lay a concrete floor every other day!
Agree that this just means achieving the speed without the necessary approval to treat patients. However it does also mean that we have a machine that can at least do something, albeit basic, rather than just some big expensive bits of shiny copper. That should open the doors to some sales contracts.
Alternative thoughts:- 1. Tree shake before results and good news on fmd 2. FMD effect significant and big holder dropping out while they can 3. Irwin selling up 4. Pension fund selling up to give funds to cash strapped government 5. Other My view with rose (wine variety) tinted specs is number 1, although 3 seems credible too.
Those roles are clearly relevant for Harley Street. It is a sign that the construction phase is coming to an end and installation will begin. Cost of the lease will also probably start soon....Recruiting shows a determination to keep the installation skills in-house.
Seems to be heading towards a hub for some clever cancer approaches. Nano QDs identify the targets, recently announced Proton therapy research centre provides the tool to zap the targeted cancer cells. Government announces stuff in wake of Tessa Jowell death. None of this quick though
250gbp at 10p. Things should start moving one way or other over next few weeks leading to results with update on FMD. The results come out in same week as by-election which should give an idea of political winds too. I�m looking for turnover rather than profits that would just feed a tax hungry government.
Having seen progress at Harley Street, that for me is largely de-risked and we will have a base this year. I am however disappointed at very little in technical progress updates. If I was a buyer, I would wait until the full speed is proven. Not at all worried by lack of sales before the technical speed has been achieved when I expect a flood of orders. Need news of the technology and expect volatility until that is declared. China deals have prior 'history' so not taking too seriously but good to know we have some real money.
That description would also fit with the patent release where the qd�s are used to attach to marker chemicals to provide an image in endoscopy/colonoscopy. If qd�s have previously been cleared for human consumption then it could represent an almost immediate use in healthcare
After reading that patent that seemed spot on timing and description wise, i�M going to switch from Xerox to AstraZeneca (if still available) which is listed in the US but strongly focussed around the Manchester area. Large US listed company was a good throw off scent tactic. Charity guide dogs for the blind - the rest of you may be needing their services.......
2nd site at Pebble Mill Birmingham has already been talked about by company. I personally met the project engineer for that one so it seems concrete enough.
Cheshire would include Risley which the administrative home of the nuclear power industry and the home of the University reactor ( excuse me if my facts are out of date tho!). A lot of nuclear regulation talent based in that area so maybe an opportunity to fast track approvals?
I also think there is a major distinction between 2d materials and quantum dots. The atomic scale of both is a common factor. However I believe by describing something as 2d, the surface area properties are being emphasised, as compared to a material with negligible volume, area or length (0d); or linear particles or fibres (1d). Thinking about what advantages are gained by having high surface for negligible volume may be a good way of identifying the potential applications:- Barrier layers e.g. silvering on cartons - think that was of order a penny per carton which soon adds up especially if elimination of plastic bottles is on the cards Catalysts - large area for helping reactions Thermal Insulation - the best insulators are typically multi layered silvered films Adhesion - even weak attractive forces work well when close proximity over a large area is achieved
Interesting you mentioned the �price of gold� when referring to manufacturing these 2d materials. I made similar wonder 2d materials over 20 years ago. Truly amazing properties but very difficult to manufacture more than tiny samples. One use was as a direct replacement for gold where the 2d material beat gold on performance
So Merkel visit to KDX would be relevant as I believe Evonik is largely owned by German pensions. Evonik being involved in clever chemicals that �make the difference� also fits with QDs but as yet all speculation that is several leaps of faith from Nanoco. Love the speculation!
I�ve lost the plot on how we got to KDX and Evonik....Evonik perked my attention as I had some dealings with them but hadn�t at all linked them to my investment here. They used to be called Degussa that may be more familiar to some folk. Also sited next to massive Bayer and BASF plants.
Just spotted a pump delivery this morning. Looks like they are now in the process of building up the permanent reinforced concrete walls an d structures
Do I again detect that the company is being careful to avoid incurring tax liabilities? Foot and mouth I believe is handled via vaccine in Africa in preference to wholesale slaughter?? Anyone familiar? Any chance of this being a political dirty tactic against cattle rancher HH? It seems the impeachment action is hotting up the already volatile politics.....
The half year normally throws up a prompt trading statement by ZAM. I guess the imminent Zampalm cash was a reason to delay, so maybe a trading statement on Monday? Unless the new guy is going to change the old habits and we end up waiting for the actual results?
They have got the zampalm cash! Not sure which dusty corner of the treasury they found that little stash!
Just done a quick scan. The report confirms that Pebble Mill is under construction - has the company ever confirmed that itself? My previous points regarding a less compact linear machine competitor may still be valid if the end result can be achieved with simpler tech. Can anyone answer the question as to whether there exist alternate technologies for linear beam acceleration?
