If LiquidMetal components can improve the sound of a guitar….why can’t this application be incorporated into a piano?
Guitar strings are strung across a piece of bone, or plastic, before being connected to the guitar via the bridge. The thought with liquid metal, LM, is that some of the vibration and resonance "loss", if any, can be enhanced by allowing the liquid metal bridge pins to absorb LESS of that "lost" resonance and vibration, thereby making the volume greater.
Piano strings are wound around a metal piece that is directly connected to the sound board on the piano, where is there is no sound "board" on a guitar. Piano's per se, do not necessarily have to be "louder" where as increased volume on a guitar can be taken advantage of by the person playing the guitar.
I don't know if that makes any sense to non guitarists, but I don't see any great value in replacing anything in a piano contacting the string with a liquid metal component.
okpj
If LQMT had anything to do with that Defense contract, don't you think all employees would be buying stock every week? It's so secret, no one knows it exists. LOL!

I’m still waiting for LL to develop an extrusion process for LiquidMetal to make musical strings/wire. The trick is the cooling and maintaining a vacuum above the extrusion head.
When one thinks of glass reinforced polyester (boats and cars) the fiberglass enhances the properties of the resin to impart desirable physical characteristics. What would happen if someone added fiberglass or graphite nanotubes to the amorphous metal mix prior to moulding? These materials melt far above the AM and would act as a reinforcing filler in the system ….Hmmm
Oh yeah!!! Rumor has it they're going to rebuild the whole bridge out of lqmt. That way those pesky run away boats will just bounce off.
If true and it is something that becomes significant .... Word will get out through the Grapevine via General Public one way or another at some point in time ....
From Chipboarder:
"I heard that US air defenses destroyed Iranian drones using a LiquidMetal Laser cannon placed in a high orbit. The super-secret project included a NDA that prevents revenue reporting."
I want things to be "big" as much as anything else...but if we're part of this liquidmetal laser cannon, and can't report revenue....how is this going to affect our PPS. An NDA would also prevent disclosure. What am I missing here?
The MM’s only sell shares to serious investors.
Nope. Wrong again. Still haven’t been able to purchase at my buy price. Where are those millions you claim mm’s will sell cheap?
And what is meant by buying cheap? Anyone can buy two to three million shares tomorrow cheap if they want.
It’s not who or what is selling. There are very few buying. Heck the MM’s will sell you 10, 20, 30 or 100 million shares right now cheap, off market too.
What do you mean someday? Isn’t he working today? 🤔 its 4:11pm
Weak bit€£s, quit selling just because someone try’s to buy to cheap, hold strong people, TC may do his job someday.
Interesting the connections that are going to serve us well and bring more attention to the industry as a whole. I had forgotten about Eutectix buying up MolyCorp.... which is how I originally connected with LQMT. I made some good coin trading Moly and even worked for them underground many moons ago.
It has no relationship at all. Poster has conflated gallium with zirconium BMG, a very common novitiate mistake.
Please go back to your surgical rooms.
You really are full of it
Another company that may be involved…
https://www.rtx.com/raytheon
The article is old the progress & partnership is new. Check out the author a former LQMT R&D employee and current Founder & Scientific Consultant of Amorphology Inc.
Besides I am sure many LQMT investors and many LQMT dice rollers have not read it nor researched the added links.
It’s all about Liquidmetal/BMG.
https://www.nature.com/articles/npjmgrav20153
And the potential/possibility for licensing fees are very good.
Tests in space have been conducted on Liquidmetal/BMG at least since 1994. Including vitreloy 106.

This metal enhanced today is also in use by Eutectix a idle partner of LQMT.
https://eutectix.com/alloy-manufacturing/bulk-metallic-glass/
Yes there is a lot going on all over the world….
WHERE IS THE BEEF 🥩?
It may not for all I know except the article points to uses of liquid metal in chemistry. The technology surrounding liquid metal and amorphous metal is growing rapidly. Who knows what new applications are going to surface especially should AI be applied. I think it is all quite exciting.
How does this relate to amorphous metal?
Perhaps this was posted before. It shows a replacement for ball bearings. In any case, the market for LM is just in it's infancy and definitely is catching on.

We get so caught up in the many scams here in the otc and that numbness that results can also impede our better judgement. When a good idea comes along that presents an opportunity we must look beyond the plethora of negativity. Honest dissection is helpful, but only when done with honest intentions sans the hidden agendas.
In any case, I personally prefer being an optimist and a realist as in Reagan's view of trusting but verifying. [From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Arrow episode, see Trust But Verify.
Trust, but verify (Russian: ???????, ?? ????????, tr. doveryay, no proveryay, IPA: [d?v??'r?æj no pr?v??'r?æj]) is a Russian proverb, which is rhyming in Russian. The phrase became internationally known in English after Suzanne Massie, a scholar of Russian history, taught it to Ronald Reagan, then president of the United States, the latter of whom used it on several occasions in the context of nuclear disarmament discussions with the Soviet Union.]
Another Russian proverb I like and used in those talks pretty much describes where we are now with LQMT : While Reagan quoted Russian proverbs, Gorbachev quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson, who had been popular in the USSR when Gorbachev was in college, saying that "the reward of a thing well done is to have done it."
Speaking of guitars. This company began using amorphous metal to manufacture the bridge. But they are not using LQMT. Might be another opportunity for LQMT to approach them. They are using 3D printing. They started in 2020.
https://www.guitarworld.com/news/behold-the-worlds-first-3d-printed-bridge-made-of-metal
https://nikhuber-guitars.com/
The company is in Germany and so is the company producing the amorphous metal parts.
A key component of the LiquidMetal Laser Cannon is a cylindrical amorphous metal part disguised to look like a “guitar pin”. The part is sourced through Gibson Guitars (a DOD front company) but attempts to contact them for comment have been unanswered.
You have to have fun in life!
I heard that US air defenses destroyed Iranian drones using a LiquidMetal Laser cannon placed in a high orbit. The super-secret project included a NDA that prevents revenue reporting.
The cannon utilizes a variation of the “bouncing ball technology” to enhance the power level of the laser by several orders of magnitude. The technology uses a slight variation of a laser presentation pointer to achieve the initial beam which is enhanced by “amorphous mirrors” to cut through objects in 2-3 seconds.
And BigSky ... Your idol Reasearch has been a broken record 24/7 for about 15 years from what I understand... maybe bitter because he has proved he knows nothing about pioneering type scenarios and demands that the day every company is incorporated and come out of the gate they must have financials that look like Amazon, Google and others so he can prepare his 'Another Week Passes' Saga's / broken records.... So your idol has been doing 'Another Week Passes' nonsense for 10+ years yet your idol has been regurgitating the same stuff repeatedly over and over and over and over and over and over and over again for 10+ years so I assume this is the only way to communicate with a person such as that ... Get it brainchild ? Again show us what you know ...
Yes, 'Kiss-Up RSI' ... why don't you do just that since you have no clue how to contribute to this board except for being a 'cheerleader' with your nose up the butt of those who bash and have no clue what they are talking about... Please .... Let us know what you know brainchild...
Someone please take a 3 week vacation, we could all use a break. If you have a significant other, please bless them with your endless knowledge of what I am sure is a myriad of topics.
Another week passes and LQMT’s share price is up less than a 1/4% from 0.0689 cents to 0.069 cents on extremely weak trading volumes and little interest. The same when LQMT moves up or down.
LQMT is now into its 27th month without a new contract announcement for the order of parts.
As far as all the expectations go and theories let’s hope past history is not a guarantee of future results.
As stated a gazillion times: with anemic trading volumes the share price means BUBKIS!
So too, does another picture of a product using Liquidmetal, without the big long overdue 8K or a new partnership for expanding manufacturing capacity and no contracts to utilize it.
Just look at the 10K revenues vs the annual LQMT expectations.
Perhaps in 2025 or 2026 LQMT might succeed and if they ever do make it in 2024, all in it will be very thankful and glad that they did.
FOMO lives and is probably the main reason why anyone holds on regardless of any other opinion at this time. Not wanting to take a loss at this point may be another.
I try to present a balanced view based on the facts not on the emotions of anyone hyping or bashing LQMT. I believe I nailed it correctly. This board has had it correct past and present from potential to expectations to hope to FOMO, to opinions both pro and con. There is no ccp here, where there might be in using another venue to share information. As in be positive or leave.
At this point in time, there is expected potential for a contract announcement later this year to correct the southerly direction LQMT has been heading for the past seven years. Otherwise there is an unfortunate possibility, where the share price can hit the lows again of the 0.03’s later this year and then the 0.02’s. Small revenue increases too, can sustain the share price between 0.04 and ten cents.
Buying volume is what sustains the upward trend. What LQMT does vs what it says will determine if that trend can continue.
The 10Q1 should be out next month by May 15th.
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.
The light at the end of the tunnel seems to be flickering a little brighter right now.
All are waiting for that big contract announcement for LQMT to succeed.
All are growing older.
Again... you never answer the question as to why you spend so much time here.... And yes you have no clue what you are talking about when you pretend to compare LQMT's pioneering efforts to that of an established company selling BaseBall Bats or whatever... So your only comeback is to bring somebody else in as a tag team and pretend that you do know what you are talking about .... Why don't you just move things along with your tactics and start comparing LQMT to Google or Microsoft etc and then you could really bash them good...
Must have been the part where i said it was not TC’s fault.
Good luck to you.
When anyone uses statements like this: “ Again they are not a 'Going Concern'.” When referring to LQMT, to misinform repeatedly, intentionally or out of ignorance or stupidity, or to puff themselves up in an effort to sound knowledgeable and all knowing, some people may actually believe their line of BS.
Reminds me of a flimflam market guru selling something. Only this time, the flimflam guru is trying so hard at selling themself as the opportunity of a lifetime and not anything else.
So in the interest of separating those who are really interested in seeing LQMT succeed from those only interested in attempting to bash other posters with BS. Here are just two websites to set the record straight.
Far be it from me to know what I am talking about.
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/goingconcern.asp
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_concern
Now I can pick apart the rest of the BS, but I prefer to focus on the facts of LQMT and not wasting anymore time on the henny penny BS, having absolutely nothing to do with LQMT.
PS: If anyone is really interested in knowing whether LQMT is a “Going Concern “ or what they are doing now and in the future. I suggest they read the 10k and not the BS from anyone trying to mislead and misinform.
Like I always say I don’t know much. But I do think from reading the LQMT 2024 10K, Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. is a “Going Concern.”
Good luck to all in LQMT.
Wish TC luck.
TC, don’t let those bashers put LQMT down. LQMT is an “On going concern as well as a Going Concern “ in 2024.
Silly, silly boy. What a garbage post
Again.. you have no idea what you are talking about when you try to put LQMT in the same category as the established companies that are already turning out profits every quarter..... And you must do this so you can continue to bash them.... But it is also why they are at 5 to 6 cents and there is an opportunity to make 10x 20x or 100x your money when the tide turns which can happen really quickly with a few bits of news......
I was going to go that way, but I try to focus on the facts of LQMT and not directly on any serious investors using hype and BS, just on the hype and BS of misinformation.
Especially ones who receive messages from the honorable Lugee Li.
By the way, I’m not sure, but didn’t Mr. Li, say LQMT would be profitable again and LQMT would be trading on the Nasdaq in five years, seven years ago? Hmmm🤔 there must be something wrong with my math again.
Oh well, maybe that too will happen later this year.
By the way, setting aside the nonsense. According to TC, LQMT is EXPECTED to gross near $2 million dollars or more in income from all sources of $$$$$$’s received for the year 2024 and that is an EXPECTED fact from TC.
That includes revenues from parts sales, license fees, income from leasing property and interest on investments. Meaning revenues from product sales and licensing fees, if everything else remains the same, should reach approximately $1 million dollars or more. Double last year’s reported numbers.
Those EXPECTED facts are not hype and are not guaranteed. They only express a positive outlook. The biggest factor of unknowns are the ability to duplicate the $$$ on interest and investments and to receive modest increases in revenues from existing and new customers.
Good luck to you.
Well I guess if the board wizard with all interpretive knowledge of Lqmt everything said it, it must be true!
More head in the sand syndrome!
LMFAO
Maybe TC said that in a private communication. We all remember how some posters alleged that they were privy to secret communications with Li.
Things TC NEVER SAID…
“TC said we will be at break even by end of the year.”
Repeat a lie often enough and some will see it as the truth. It’s how HYPE gets started. Misinformation. I believe I covered this topic recently.
TC, Never said “we will be at break even by end of the year.” And that is a fact!
That would not permit LQMT to capitalize on the IP sold. But the use of the registered brand name would.
TC said we will be at break even by end of the year.
Indeed, things are changing. Time to get ones head focused on current and future reality and not stuck in the sand of the past!
Thats funny... >"Their historical problems that persist to this day are they do not know how to maintain consistent growth year over year". Again they are not a 'Going Concern' as of yet that you try to portray things as so you can constantly bash them.... Again... It seems or is very clear that you do not understand the pioneering process / stages etc ..... They have not maintained consistent growth because the 'early adopters' are still in limbo and that may or may not be due to anything related to LQMT .... And nobody outside of the inner circle will ever know a lot of these things until an Early Adopter or two starts to roll out some orders of sizeable dollars ... And of course .... the reason the Roll-Outs have not begun yet is becasue they are still assessing various factors related to either small scale, medium scale or large scale integration issues or strategies (i.e. along with the wind-down of current methods)... and evidentally they are not comfortable yet proceeding or there is other factors that are still being worked out.... Again this is a moving target .... and that is why gazillion dollar innovations such as this normally take several decades before the big breakthroughs ..... but once the breakout starts happening .. which can start at anytime ..... then things happen pretty quick (and you NEVER know when that will be becasue the Early Adopter Whales are initially in total control).
Quote: Would be generous if Apple incorporated the Liquidmetal brand name, even if LQMT never receives a dime. The name recognition would give LQMT credibility …
It isn’t quite using the Liquidmetal brand, but I seem to recall the enthusiastic joy and optimistic predictions when Apple started using “Liquid Metal” as a watch face name. Unfortunately nothing ever came out of that.
When they employ NDA’s and publicly list major suppliers or when they buy innovation.
In 2010 they helped a very distressed and very little known company out from probably going bankrupt. I believe the company was Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. The same company you own shares in.
It’s not their fault, LQMT has not succeeded.
LQMT is trying to succeed by commercializing the material to gain exposure and income in an attempt at succeeding.
Their historical problems that persist to this day are they do not know how to maintain consistent growth year over year. Thus keeping new interested dice rollers away resulting in a low penny trading stock with great potential.
They gain a customer, lose a customer. They gain a partner, lose a partner. It’s going to take time. Nothing has changed.
Research,
When has Apple ever helped another company to succeed?
That is a major flaw in their business plan - IMHO!
Tomcat
Believe it or not it’s been in their path for more than 18 years. Way before the agreements. Some are already using it, but LQMT has not collected a dime. Now with the 2010 agreements they may never collect at all.
It’s the endeavor of medical which looks most promising. The instruments used throughout that industry can benefit from incorporating Liquidmetal in every aspect from dental to optical to hospital instruments used daily. It is a multi billion dollar industry. From gears to whole parts. Every major supplier of medical products can benefit from Liquidmetal parts.
Would be generous if Apple incorporated the Liquidmetal brand name, even if LQMT never receives a dime. The name recognition would give LQMT credibility to help LQMT’s inside out pocket sales reps land a deal.
Nice link. Finds me in agreement that they better come out with a foldable phone or lose out to the competition. Now that foldable IPad I really like.
One thing, among others, that is good about competition, it puts all the players on top of their toes trying to be number one. In so doing, new tech is
a big part of that drive to excellence beyond the competition. This puts liquid metal right in their path.
