Peresmeh/iStock via Getty Images Graphene is a relatively new discovery after being isolated at Manchester University in 2004. The discovery resulted in a Nobel Prize award to two scientists in 2010 . While the Nobel Prize award validates the importance of the discovery, it "can't put money in the bank". Since then, research has focused on how to produce graphene. A Kansas State University professor, Christopher Sorensen, invented and patented a system that produces graphene using acetylene to power the process. The original U.S. patent, number US 9,440,857 B2 (see below) with 51 patent claims, can be searched and further reviewed on the U.S Patent and Trade Mark Office website. Company presentation HydroGraph Clean Power ( HGRAF ) acquired the patent rights and is currently working to launch the unit in the market. Since licensing the original patent. Hydrograph has registered additional issued and pending patents, as noted in the company investor presentation . An exhaustive search did not reveal a more efficacious method of producing graphene than the HydroGraph unit. Due to its unique properties, graphene has the ability to greatly enhance the strength and performance of materials beyond present measures to a new paradigm in scientific and industrial development. For example, it is more than 200x stronger than steel with 100x the electrical conductivity of copper, but incredibly light. The foregoing presents an early-stage potential investment opportunity that could revolutionize material development in multiple industrial applications, as will be further discussed. What is graphene? Graphene is a variety of the carbon element that occurs in small amounts globally. It is the strongest and most conductive material known to man. The molecular structure of graphene is configured in a layered, hexagonal pattern, enabling electrons to pass through graphene at incredibly fast speeds. The layered, hexagonal structure further strengthens the material. When layers of gra...

Natali_Mis/iStock via Getty Images A High-Yield Income Portfolio to Mimic a Standard 60/40 For those looking to generate income from their portfolios versus relying on a safe withdrawal rate [SWR], different fund combinations that have distributions of the underlying capital gains are a good way to do it. In reality, that is what one does when selling shares for income anyway: they sell a certain amount needed for living and leave the rest alone. The standard advice from Bill Bengen and the Trinity study was that 4% in a conservative portfolio allocation should last in perpetuity. Keep in mind, this 4% rate is supposed to adjust for inflation. It has been criticized as being too low to live on for most, but when you take inflation into the calculus, the dollar amount compounds substantially over time. For instance, take a typical $1,000,000 portfolio withdrawing $40,000 per year. If we assume a 2% inflation rate, what is the dollar amount a decade later? It's $48,759 10 years later and $59,437 20 years later . The Goal The goal here is to back-test some combinations of funds that are a mix of closed-end funds and standard ETFs, aiming for a higher, near 7% yield. This gives retirees an income boost while at the same time trying to maintain the conservative mix and exposure of a typical 60/40 stock/bond portfolio. We want to at least match the compound annual growth rate of a traditional allocation and have about the same volatility measured by the portfolio standard deviation. The Portfolio The first part was looking for actively managed closed-end funds with minimal leverage in the fixed-income sphere. Here were the screening criteria: Fixed Income Screen $600 million or larger AUM Effective leverage less than 20% CEF Connect I avoided any high-yield products, which eliminated corporate exposure. Two picks I ended up with were municipal bond funds. I combined two muni funds, The Nuveen Municipal Value Fund and the BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund , with The Vanguard Tot...

ASML Holding NY (ASML) is a Dutch multinational corporation and a foundational pillar of the global semiconductor industry. ASML is the world's sole provider of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, which are essential for etching the microscopic circuits found in the most advanced AI and high-performance chips. By utilizing complex laser-plasma light sources and precision optics, ASML enables chipmakers like TSMC (TSM), Intel (INTC), and Samsung to push the boundaries of Moore’s Law. Headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands, the company was founded in 1984. ASML Stock Surges ASML stock reflects a massive 94% surge over the past year. The stock has benefited from a significant re-rating as investor sentiment toward AI infrastructure remains robust. With a market capitalization exceeding $526 billion, ASML has recovered sharply from its 2024 lows, recently hitting a 52-week high of $1,547.22, despite a relatively minor 7% pullback in the last 30 days due to broader market consolidation. In comparison to the Nasdaq 100 ($IUXX), ASML has substantially outperformed the index over the last twelve months. While the Nasdaq 100 has seen strong gains driven by the broader "Magnificent Seven" rally, ASML’s specialized position in the semiconductor supply chain allowed it to nearly double the index's percentage returns. ASML Posted Record Results ASML concluded a record-breaking fiscal year 2025, reporting Q4 net sales of €9.7 billion, significantly exceeding market expectations. This performance contributed to a full-year revenue of €32.7 billion, a 16% increase compared to 2024. Net income for the quarter reached €2.8 billion, with a healthy gross margin of 52.2%. A standout metric was the record quarterly net bookings of €13.2 billion, of which €7.4 billion was specifically for EUV systems, resulting in a total order backlog of €38.8 billion by year-end. Looking ahead, management has issued a confident outlook for 2026, projecting total net sales between €34 billio...

未来产业并不会取代传统产业，而是对传统产业进行升级。当下科技创新不再是单点突破，而是体系化变革，数字化、电气化、人工智能、新能源等多领域同步推进。 在今年的中国发展高层论坛上，“创新”是被跨国企业高管反复提及的关键词。 在传统的工业制造领域，欧洲企业拥有深厚的底蕴。在新一轮AI技术浪潮加速席卷的背景下，欧洲企业正将中国市场视为创新技术的策源地以及规模化应用落地的试验田。 德国瓦克化学总裁兼首席执行官贺达（Christian Hartel）在一场技术创新与未来产业发展专题研讨会上表示：“未来产业只有通过上下游企业早期、可靠地协同创新，实现规模化，才能取得成功。” 贺达表示，提到“创新”，人们往往会将其与软件平台或算法联系在一起，但每一次的技术革命最终都将依赖于实体工业，无论是交通、数字基础设施或能源系统。他特别提到了支撑人工智能和高性能计算的芯片所使用的先进材料的创新——全球每两颗计算芯片中，就有一颗使用了瓦克化学制造的多晶硅材料。“先进材料是将创新的想法转变为现实的基础。” 他认为，未来产业并不会取代传统产业，而是对传统产业进行升级。当下科技创新不再是单点突破，而是体系化变革，数字化、电气化、人工智能、新能源等多领域同步推进。 “化学工业常被视为传统行业，然而，我们设计、建造和运营工厂的方式已经发生了根本性的变化。在瓦克，数字孪生和人工智能已经成为标准工具。”他说道，“这正是传统产业变得更加高效、可持续并具有竞争力的方式。” 中国在全球产业链中的地位从制造基地向创新源头升级，创新、产业发展与国际合作协同推进，或成为实现技术进步和产业价值提升的关键。 德国工业巨头西门子董事会主席、总裁兼首席执行官博乐仁（Roland Busch）表示：“西门子已经将AI战略深度融合到硬件、软件、计算和数据全体系，在中国打造工业AI并落地于工厂、建筑等各类场景，为中国客户提供更多灵活性。” 芬兰电梯巨头通力集团总裁兼首席执行官菲利普·德龙（Philippe Delorme）在中国发展高层论坛上表示：“中国的城市更新、绿色转型与数字化发展正释放出巨大的机遇。通力在昆山的工业园已发展为全球规模最大、数字化水平领先的电扶梯制造基地，成为中国制造迈向智能化与高端化的重要缩影。” 第一财经记者了解到，截至去年，通力昆山工业园基本完全实现本地供应链，产品出口至全球100多个国家和地区。 罗兰贝格全...

Tottenham have offered condolences to interim head coach Igor Tudor following the death of his father. The 47-year-old Croatian did not undertake post-match media duties following Spurs' 3-0 home defeat by Nottingham Forest on Sunday for personal reasons. "Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Igor Tudor's father, Mario," said Spurs in a statement. "Our thoughts and condolences go out to Igor and his family during this incredibly difficult time." Former Juventus boss Tudor was appointed Tottenham boss until the end of the season on 13 February. Italian club Juventus expressed sympathy for Tudor. "Juventus stands with Igor Tudor and his family at this difficult time," the Bianconeri said in a statement on X. "Juventus joins in mourning the passing of his father."

Pope Leo said aeroplanes should be “carriers of peace” and that aerial bombardments should be banned in his latest condemnation of war amid the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The comments were made by Leo, the Catholic church’s first American pontiff, during a meeting on Monday with staff from the Italian national airline, ITA Airways. “Airplanes should always be carriers of peace, never of war! No one should be afraid that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky,” the pope said. He did not specifically refer to the war on Iran. Leo added: “After the tragic experiences of the 20th century, aerial bombings should have been banned for ever. Instead, they still exist, and technological development, positive in itself, is being placed at the service of war. This is not progress; it is regression!” The pope’s criticism of the war was more pointed on Sunday, when during his weekly Angelus prayer at St Peter’s Square he renewed his appeal for a ceasefire. He described the death and suffering caused by the conflict as a “scandal to the whole human family”. View image in fullscreen Pope Leo during his weekly Angelus prayer at the Vatican on Sunday. Photograph: Vatican Pool/Getty Images He said he had been following the situation with “dismay”. “We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many people, the defenceless victims of these conflicts. What hurts them hurts the whole of humanity,” the pope added. “I strongly renew my appeal for us to persevere in prayer, so that hostilities may cease and the way may finally be paved for peace.” Leo, who was elected pope in May last year after the death of Pope Francis, has so far been cautious over his engagement with the US president, Donald Trump. He has relied instead on his college of cardinals to directly criticise the US’s decision to go to war in Iran. Earlier this month, Cardinal Domenico Battaglia in Naples addressed an open letter to “the merchants of death” profiting from weapons’ sales, whi...

Shareholders of Tronox Holdings PLC (Symbol: TROX) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2.7% annualized dividend yield can sell the August covered call at the $10 strike and collect the premium based on the 80 cents bid, which annualizes to an additional 25.9% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the), for a total of 28.6% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $10 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but TROX shares would have to climb 33.9% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 44.6% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Tronox Holdings PLC, looking at the dividend history chart for TROX below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 2.7% annualized dividend yield. Below is a chart showing TROX's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $10 strike highlighted in red: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the August covered call at the $10 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $10.

Few companies have created as much shareholder wealth as Nvidia (NVDA +2.36%). The industry-leading chipmaker has dominated the generative artificial intelligence (AI) hardware market with its cutting-edge products, high volumes, and popular programming platform, CUDA. To put Nvidia's growth in perspective, an investment of $10,000 made years ago would now be worth an eye-popping $2.21 million. That's a return of over 22,000% compared to the S&P 500's gain of 292% over the same time frame. But does the stock still have what it takes to deliver life-changing returns for long-term investors? AI spending shows no signs of slowing Despite being the largest company in the world with a market cap of about $4.4 trillion, Nvidia is still growing at a massive clip. Fiscal fourth-quarter revenue soared 73% year over year to $68.1 billion, driven primarily by the data center segment, where customers continue to scramble for the company's cutting-edge AI training and inference chips, like Blackwell. There are plenty of signs that suggest Nvidia's momentum can continue over the next few quarters. The company is now in full production of its Vera Rubin platform, which includes seven new chips designed to tackle different aspects of the AI ecosystem. Perhaps more importantly, Nvidia's clients have plenty of money to spend on the company's latest products. Big tech is expected to spend a whopping $700 billion on AI data center hardware this year, creating a massive total addressable market. Can AI boost the gaming segment? Before generative AI and the data center segment stole the show, Nvidia was primarily a video gaming chipmaker. It's GPUs featured in the first-generation Microsoft Xbox in 2001, and its RTX line of computer graphics cards remains a staple for gamers who build their own PCs. That said, with fourth-quarter sales of $3.7 billion, this business represented just 5% of Nvidia's top line compared to 91% for the data center segment. That lack of diversification means Nv...

Coherent vs. Palantir: Which AI Stock Has More Upside Now? The Globe and Mail

Eduardo Monroy Husillos/iStock via Getty Images Despite a promising partnership with a leading online health platform, Novo Nordisk A/S ( NVO ) has only slumped to new lows. The biopharma already has promising oral GLP-1 sales, but the market just isn't happy with the overall momentum of the business. My investment thesis is ultra Bullish on the stock following the further slump to multi-year lows. Source: Finviz Hims & Hers Partnership A few weeks back, Novo Nordisk agreed to a partnership with Hims & Hers Health ( HIMS ) to offer semaglutide medicines through the telehealth platform. Hims had famously recently launched a copycat version of the Wegovy pill, leading to a lawsuit by Novo. The agreement puts the legal battle aside and lets the firms move forward, focusing on helping patients obtain weight-loss drugs. Hims had been a thorn in the side of Novo Nordisk, offering compound versions of the injections. The agreement provides Hims with access to these FDA-approved drugs: Ozempic (semaglutide) injections at 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and 2 mg Wegovy (semaglutide) tablets 1.5 mg, 4 mg, 9 mg, and 25 mg Wegovy injections at 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg, A big key to the partnership is that Wegovy went from shortages in limited doses to a broad array of dosage options. In addition, Hims will still offer compounded versions to the limited number of patients unable to handle a branded dosage for whatever medical reason. Another part is that Wegovy was already in the works of obtaining FDA approvals for different dosages. The biopharma got the 7.2 mg injection approved last week, and it will be branded as Wegovy HD, where patients had an average weight loss of 20.7% over 72 weeks. Hims offers Novo Nordisk a now global marketing machine the European biopharma appears to lack. Hims has roughly 50% of the U.S. online health platform, more than double the next largest platform, while not having access to branded GLP-1s in 2025. Source: Hims & Hers Health Q4'25 Shareholde...

The Trump administration released TotalEnergies SE from $1 billion in offshore wind leases so the French energy giant can redirect those funds into oil and natural gas investments in the US. Under the agreement, Total is no longer committed to developing wind farms off the coasts of New York, New Jersey and North Carolina, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Monday at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston. In return for the new fossil-energy investments, the US will reimburse TotalEnergies “dollar-for-dollar” up to the amount the company paid for the initial leases, according to an Interior Department statement. President Donald Trump ’s campaign against offshore wind is part of his wider effort to roll back Biden-era climate policies and to champion fossil fuels. His attempts to thwart construction of five wind farms at sea has been undermined by court decisions in recent months. Read More: Trump Administration to Appeal Offshore Wind Farm Rulings TotalEnergies Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne said Monday that the company will “accelerate” investments in US LNG. The US deal doesn’t impact the company’s commitment to wind on other nations, he added at the Monday media briefing in Houston. The French company — through its Attentive Energy LLC unit — was awarded a lease to develop more than 3 gigawatts of offshore wind power off New York and New Jersey — enough to provide renewable power to over 1 million homes across the two states. The license granted by the Biden administration in 2022 cost $795 million. Total subsequently sold a 44% stake in Attentive Energy to Macquarie Group Ltd ’s Corio Generation and Rise Light & Power for $420 million. Total was also awarded a 1-gigawatt lease offshore North Carolina for $160 million in 2022. The lease relinquishment discussion were previously reported by the New York Times.

Luis Enrique said his side’s 4-0 win over Nice “showed the kind of team that PSG are”. With Nuno Mendes at left-wing, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia playing as a No 9 and Lucas Beraldo coming on in midfield, it was unlike anything we have seen before. Yet, remarkably, it all felt so familiar. The dynamics within the game were nothing new. PSG continued to test the limits of positional fluidity, while Nice pushed the limits of their own rigidity by deploying what Nice centre-back Dante called a “team block”. PSG’s waspish front three of Mendes, Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué outmanoeuvred a Nice back three who are all over six-feet tall. While the rest of Ligue 1 have trended towards physicality, PSG have trended towards technicality, and there was only one winner at the Allianz Riviera. After a midweek win over Chelsea, much was made of PSG’s supposed freshness, the result of their game against Nantes being controversially postponed. But PSG’s real strength does not lie in the physical domain; in this season’s Champions League, they rank 28th for distance covered per match. Last season, they ranked 14th. Inter ranked first and we know how that finished. Given their lack of pre-season preparation due to the Club World Cup, and the mild injury crisis that ensued, this was never going to be a season when they would physically outmatch their opponents. But there are other ways to compete. To do so, Luis Enrique has begun to use Ligue 1 games as a laboratory. Not all of his prototypes will be rolled out in the Champions League but he learns something from every experiment. Mendes, for example, can play higher, as his goal and assist against Nice proved; and Beraldo can play midfield. “I am delighted to see a player with the technical quality to play in midfield. It was a great surprise,” said Luis Enrique. He can play this game of trial and error almost without consequence in Ligue 1, even if Lens remain within striking distance. Within this prototype, there were imperfections. Ni...

The role of Israel’s hijacking of Iran’s street cameras in the killing of the country’s supreme leader underscores how surveillance systems are increasingly being targeted by adversaries in wartime. Hundreds of millions of cameras have been installed above shops, in homes and on street corners across the world, many connected to the internet and poorly secured. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled militaries and intelligence agencies to sift through vast amounts of surveillance footage and identify targets. Advertisement On February 28, Israel vividly showed the potential of such systems to be hacked and used against adversaries when Israel tracked down Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with the help of Tehran’s own street cameras, despite repeated warnings that Iran’s surveillance systems had been compromised, according to interviews and an Associated Press (AP) review of leaked data, public statements and news reports. The use of hacked surveillance cameras among other intelligence, in the operation to kill Khamenei was described to AP by an intelligence official with knowledge of the operation and another person who was briefed on the operation. 01:34 Trump tells Iran to reopen Strait of Hormuz by late Monday GMT or face major assault Trump tells Iran to reopen Strait of Hormuz by late Monday GMT or face major assault Neither was authorised to speak with the media and both shared information on condition of anonymity.
