We won't be fools. The QUAMTUM DOT revolution started when "nanotechnology" became a buzzword in the late 90s. It still hasn't realized its potential. QTMM may always be tied to a research group relying on government and grants, but being a Longhorn alum, I've got nothing but optimism for these Texas research arms at Rice, TX State and hopefully some additional collaboration with UT Austin. In my opinion, QTMM exists to commercialize the research findings from these institutions.
Also, what's the chance of a grant for discovery and invention of military application.
Unrelated to QTMM for now, but CU Boulder seems to have a research group working on the medical uses in terms of targeting specific microbes using QDs... Think about it: it's as simple as having a targeted receptor that infiltrates the cell structure and (maybe?) produces UV radiation when exposed to a certain wavelength of light, thus killing living microorganisms within a contained space. I'm only guessing on the UV as means of eradicating the invasive bug, but there's other modalities to use light to kill the MRSA once the QD has reached its target.
I went through 4 years of college specializing in microbiology to "learn" what the rest of the board knows simply from being interested in the tech. Great board here. Company may ultimately suck at selling QDs on a mass scale, but they're great about changing the possibilities of tomorrow.
