Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) shares traded at $0.035, down 12.50%, during the Trading session on 26 October 2026, while the S&P/ASX 200 index (XJO) stood at 8,805.30, up 0.11% or 10.10 points, at 2:06 pm. Separately, the company's latest announcement on file is dated 22 October 2026 and covers final testing of its Energy Ink Moisture Dock demonstrator.

Strategic Elements develops advanced materials, and the announcement describes a planned demonstration of moisture-generated electricity charging a battery. The release is dated earlier than the session, so the share price movement and the announcement are reported as separate items.

Moisture Dock testing (22 October 2026)

Strategic Elements said final testing has started on its breath-activated Moisture Dock, in which an Energy Ink cell pack generates electricity to charge a removable Lithium-Ion Battery without mains, external power or solar. Subject to testing, the full demonstration will be held in Q4 2026.

Planned demonstration

A discharged battery is inserted into the Dock, breath is introduced into a sealed chamber to set the moisture conditions that activate the cell pack, and electricity passes through commercial e-peas power-management electronics to charge it. The battery is then fitted to a Nokia feature phone to make a one-minute call as a proof point. The technology is developed by Subsidiary Australian Advanced Materials with a University of New South Wales team and other partners.

About Strategic Elements

Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX:SOR) holds Australian Advanced Materials Pty Ltd, which develops Energy Ink, a moisture-energy technology.

Related sector context

Moisture-based energy generation is an emerging approach to producing small amounts of electricity from humidity. The demonstration is an engineering proof of concept.

The XJO was up 0.11% at 2:06 pm on the day.

Risks to weigh in

The Dock is a demonstrator, not a product, and final testing may not succeed. Commercialisation would need further development, and shares priced at $0.035 can move sharply in either direction.

Catalysts on watch

Items to follow include the outcome of final testing and the Q4 2026 demonstration.

Final word

Strategic Elements (ASX:SOR) traded 12.50% lower during the 26 October 2026 session, while its latest release, dated 22 October 2026, described final testing ahead of a Q4 2026 demonstration.
