Why can't I place a sell order? And till when? I haven't checked this for a gazillion years...
" Two ground-breaking studies seem to indicate that we will be hearing lots more about graphene, a two-dimensional material made of pure carbon, as scientists have discovered the substance is key in the removal of nuclear waste from water and helps in the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
On Tuesday, US and Russian researchers announced they have discovered that graphene oxide can quickly remove radioactive material from contaminated water.
The new method, explained in the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics Journal, proves that microscopic, atom-thick flakes of graphene oxide can bind quickly to natural and human-made radionuclides and condense them into solids for easy removal from contaminated water.
Rice University chemist James Tour and Lomonosov Moscow State University academic Stepan Kalmykov believe the discovery could be used in the clean-up of contaminated sites, such as the Fukushima nuclear plants damaged by a 2011 earthquake and tsunami, according to the statement released yesterday.
The researchers focused on removing radioactive isotopes of the actinides and lanthanides – the 30 rare earth elements in the periodic table – from liquids, rather than solids or gases.
“Though they don’t really like water all that much, they can and do hide out there,” said Steven Winston, a former vice-president of Lockheed Martin and Parsons Engineering and an expert in nuclear power and remediation who is working with the scientists.
“From a human health and environment point of view, that’s where they’re least welcome,” he added.
Key benefits for mining
Naturally occurring radionuclides are also unwelcome in fracking fluids that bring them to the surface in drilling operations, Tour said. “When groundwater comes out of a well and it’s radioactive above a certain level, they can’t put it back into the ground,” he said. “It’s too hot. Companies have to ship contaminated water to repository sites around the country at very large expense.”
The ability to quickly filter out contaminants on-site would save a great deal of money, he said.
He sees even greater potential benefits for the mining industry. Environmental requirements have “essentially shut down US mining of rare earth metals, which are needed for cellphones,” Tour said. “China owns the market because they’re not subject to the same environmental standards. So if this technology offers the chance to revive mining here, it could be huge.”
Medicine
The biomedical field is also looking at graphene’s applications for advancing therapeutics and diagnostics. An article in the journal Advanced Materials ("New Horizons for Diagnostics and Therapeutic Applications of Graphene and Graphene Oxide") outlines some of the ways the element and its oxide are promising improved diagnostics and therapeutics for a number of different health conditions.
Graphene is also being looked at for drug and gene delivery applications, phototherapy for cancer and biosensors. In particular, researchers have been experimenting with combining graphene with near-Infrared (NIR) phototherapy and imaging. There has been some progress in using graphene-enabled NIR photo-thermal therapy for cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
While both pure graphene and graphene oxide have exhibited some toxicity to cells and animals, experts say that coating it with a biocompatible polymer results in no detectable toxicity in both cellular and animal testing." ( mining.com)

What happened to the law suit? Anybody knows?
One single trade all day. Awesome! This is usually a No Trades all day for weeks!
What a POS !
Whatever happened to the law suit?
And the use of capital letters in a letter to a judge would be at least a disrespect to his authority.it does sound very immature . He actually used language like "screwed us". ..
A belief is just a thought you keep thinking. Otherwise I would have said " I Know " it will sky rocket on September 3 and 4.
My stop loss order went through today . I was away , unfortunatelly . I believe September 3 and 4 this will sky rocket.
72.73% up ! : ) dreaming about the pps after september 6 !!!!
The company expects to receive the MCP approval by the end of September, according to their last PR.
October we may see a better pps, imo.
Do you think this is ever recovering the $2 pps range?!
Why is the pps so low ?
They finally filled it .
I placed a buy order at . 055 and it s not filling in
What pps are you hoping for ?
My buy order was not filled at . 056.
No, we are in Denial Land.
I dreammed Atrn was .03 . Glad it was just a bad dream . Ran to my ipad and saw the .0640 ... Yuppieeeee ( sarcasm...)
Will this ever go back to .20s ?!
...that s how they can legally STEAL from shareholders.and make a report about it.
Why would anybody read the 10 -K and buy GGRID shares is beyond me.
Forget about the carbon offset BS and the many times they put in bold that they might fail . It gets better, with statements like:
"GEIL controls 75% of the issued and outstanding shares.The interest of GEIL may not be at all times, the same as those of the shareholders". Then ,they go on explaining the many ways GEIL can f* shareholders .
The 10-K is more like saying, we got your shares and money ,and that s how we can legally from you and make a report about it.
To the ones that were able to sell shares today for more than . 0001 congratulations! It amazes me that there are buyers after that report.
"we are not currently DTC eligible for eletronic transfer, therefore, trades are executed and cleared on a trade for trade basis IN CERTIFICATE FORM.".
Oopsy...
NGC/NGPHF will be a great long term investment imo.
I agree! ZEN:29% yesterdAy and another29% today , last time I checked... : )
Thanks
How many employees are working for RFMK at the present moment?
Funny peculiar
How can it be legal for some common shareholders to be trading this when some common shares holders are not allowed to?
How can it be legal for the company not even to have a phone number that actually works?
We should file a class suit.
Would it be insider trading if ( for now , just for now ) they "do not have material info" and are simply buying cheapies?
They could drag releasing that for a long long time , till there cant be any proof to connect the dots.
If they remain silent for a year, then start reporting agAin, then another passes by...oh , guess whAt , we decided to buy it... How can you prove they had the " intention" to buy it in April 2012? No proof beyond doubt ...
This board keeps saying there is a merger. they never said that. So , for now, if they want to buy cheapies, they can.Unless there is really a merger happening asap.
I am not a lawyer but have too many friends that are. If there is a will , there is a way...
Are you a short?
He might be having a blast saying all he wants to people that can't hear it .A private joke ? If you reAd the lyrics he is posting Nd check the pps , one might think they Are buying cheapies day after day... But we can't verify that cause they are silent. How convenient?!
Looking Good!
BNN is talking about it right now, their top 10 picks.!
April 16th , shorts! Dam good penny picks will release a new pick ! Awesome!
Like TXVia ?
I meant Dam Good Penny Picks
