Tetrapod Quantum Dots are the next big thing, don't discount them because you don't know anything about them. QTMM is tightly held and should scream when the lid comes off. Go to the info box to start your DD. Don't be one of those I should've when you could have. GL

Keep a close eye on QTMM, company is transitioning from development to manufacturing in the next generation of semiconductors. Remember Intel? Do type DD on quantum dots, they have even more applications!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

A little insight from Dr. Alivisatos to what it takes the other companies to make QD's. The video details the typical process for TQD's by batch processing. Keep in mind quantum yields (QY) for rods are above 75% and for tetrapods between 35-70% with this batch process. Kind of puts in perspective why the QMC continuous flow process for mass production with QY >90% is so important to advance the QD industry.

PS Dave - nice adrenalin booster!

Old article that had a short video associated with it that no one watched. It is from Alivisatos's group and their research on TQD's at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It's the July 2013 article for "Tetrapod nanocrystals light the way to stronger polymers". http://phys.org/news/2013-07-tetrapod-nanocrystals-stronger-polymers.html

Video:

Just saw on TV the show "Beyond the Worm Hole with Morgan Freeman". They were explaining quantum computing and qubits. It will be 20 years in the making but the significance for me was they identified Quantum Dots as one of the sources for the advancement of the technology. To see one of the initial introductions of Quantum Dots to the public was exciting and a long time coming! Exposure is only starting and the more people see and learn about QD's the more interest will grow in the companies focusing on the technology. Along with the main stream public getting familiar seeing the new term Quantum Dots it will more importantly be tied to products that are made with them. We relate to physical items that provide entertainment or improve the quality of our life better than words alone. So lets hope the media brings on a Tetrapod Quantum Dot publicity campaign.

It appears it's the same report from September:
http://www.nanomarkets.net/Downloads/Nano-647%20ES.pdf
This is the QMC excerpt from the executive summary:
Quantum Materials Corporation: U.S.-based Quantum Materials Corporation (QMC) developed
a cost-effective method for the mass production of, which are superior to traditional spherical QDs
because they emit two different colors, thereby offering end users the ability to customize the
wavelength of the emitted light. The QDs have a wide application range covering displays, solidstate
lighting, and solar cells.
The tetrapod QDs are produced in a continuous flow process using a micro-reactor that is
software controlled, thus eliminating the need for manual intervention and ensuring product
uniformity across all production batches.
Although QMC has been producing small volumes of tetrapod cadmium-based QDs, to the
company is expected to ramp up its mass manufacturing process by the first quarter of 2014,
which will enable it to meet bulk demand for both cadmium-based and non-cadmium-based QDs
in the near to medium term.
As one of the very few players to implement a large-scale manufacturing process for NHM QDs,
QMC is likely to target European and Japanese markets that have strict regulations on the use of
Page | 9
toxic materials such as cadmium. Although the company's range of QD materials is likely to find
applicability in various industries, including displays and lighting, the company's focus has been
directed more towards the development of QD materials suited for the biomedical and solar
energy segments.
NanoMarkets believes that companies such as QMC that hold IP on novel QD materials and
large-scale QD manufacturing techniques are likely to have an edge over others because they are
likely to be in a position to strike bulk QD manufacturing deals with OEMs in the near to mid-term.
NanoMarkets also feels that QMC will continue to invest heavily in research efforts to increase the
adoption of non-toxic QDs in commercial products in the long run.
Although the advantages of QDSs over OLEDs have been demonstrated in the large display
format, it is only recently that companies such as QMC and Nanoco have scientifically proved the
effectiveness of their patented large-scale QD manufacturing techniques that will enable largevolume
production and thus catapult QDs into the mainstream market for large-screen displays,
such as TVs, that typically demand ultra-high resolutions.
NanoMarkets believes that other players in the QD industry will take cues from established
players such as QD Vision Nanoco Group, and QMC and develop their own manufacturing
solutions. We also expect that the eco-friendliness of non-heavy metal QDs will be a major
positive development for QDs and lead to increased adoption of QD technology in the display
segment in the coming years.

The company has not gotten false hopes up the people on this board have. They have had opportunities and have refrained from misleading the masses. The India MOU is a perfect example. Did anyone know something that could be that big was under negotiation? Had they made a news announcement this was the next big thing and promoted it as many of the less creditable companies do, the stock price could have been driven higher. The day traders love stuff like that. Everyone on the board want news, if nothing else, to know that the company is alive but a few here are intent on slamming the company when they’re silent on progress, when in reality they are preventing you from getting false hopes up. Their intent is not to drive the stock price up to make a quick killing and leave the little guy standing around without his shirt because he was stupid enough to jump in because every one was doing it. On second thought maybe they should but they actually have integrity and are keeping the news they have that has not materialized under wraps until it is truly news worthy. No false hopes conveyed. The expectation of revenues each filing is from the wishful thinking of those here. Don’t get me wrong, I look forward to that day also, but this is a startup company and it’s never a cut and paste process, particularly when you’re in the arena and environment of an industry so new with so many hurdles from unknowns. Time consuming it is and the fact they have persevered is testament to everyone’s commitment within the company. I for one will be around for a long time, not because of some ones comments here, a news article, PR release or analysts recommendation but because of the future associated with this industry and in particular this one company. There isn’t another company currently with the potential QMC has sitting in their lap. The business developments from 2010 to this filing show me that the same “the sky is falling” 10Q and 10K comments previously made are for their legal protection. I see that this latest 10K wasn’t a cut and paste from earlier ones, and they addressed additional growth plans from hiring new employees to independent board members for governance. “The Company will also seek, at the appropriate time, to build out the corporate board by the addition of one or more directors in non-executive positions to add independence, depth of experience and strategic support as the business of the Company grows.” It’s one of those small insignificant comments like that for me, that provide the bases management has the intent to succeed with their vision for the company and nothing is going to prevent that from becoming reality.

Bill

10-K posted http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=quantum+materials+corp&owner=exclude&action=getcompany

Nanosys has a 4000 KG per year facility of 60,000 sq ft. Overhead is one thing and the number of people employed to manufacture those? Say they double it again to 8000KG per year. How will QMC’s reactor technology compare to that?
Using a sample producing micro reactor isn’t going to cut it. Even at 2 grams per hour producing TQD’s 24 hrs a day it would take 41,667 days (114 years) at the rate of 48 grams per day to produce 2000kg’s. Lets forget that and go to the published 100 kg per day rate, that is a little more practical. At 100KG per day to accomplish their current 2000kg milestone QMC would have to run for 20 days. There are quite a few unknowns at this point. Is the 100kg over 24 hours continuous production or is it in an 8 -10 hour period? Making the assumption it’s run regular business hours it’s 4 weeks. In reality the most efficient way to run the reactors is 24-7. Since they can be unmanned you don’t need to babysit it like you do the synthesis process. So staffing could be minimal and 10 hours a day 2 shifts with 2 hours unattended time between shifts. 20 continuous days vs 20 business days provides 6 days of additional production. 100kgX6= 600kg extra provided in the same period of a 5 day business week. Is that significant? I would think so. I imagine Nanosys is running full tilt to meet production needs. Like Q realized they had doubled production in half the time, that didn’t happen working 8 hours - 5 days a week. What’s QMC’s advantage? Oh about 28,000kg more a year using that relationship of 24-7 and that is giving 5 days off for holidays and matching an assumed 8000kg a year production milestone on top of it. The advantage once QMC gets their continuous process reactors going full tilt? Quality, quantity, variety, minimum staffing, minimum facility space, minimum raw material waste. I’d say there are more advantages Art could provide aside from these.

HM - Heavy Metals, Cadmium is a heavy metal. A heavy metal is any of a number of higher atomic weight elements, which has the properties of a metallic substance at room temperature.

Living organisms require trace amounts of some heavy metals, including cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, strontium, and zinc, but excessive levels can be detrimental to the organism.

Other heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium have no known vital or beneficial effect on organisms, and their accumulation over time in the bodies of mammals can cause serious illness.

NHM - Non Heavy Metals, Cadmium free
OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer, The likes of LG, Sony, Samsung, Phillips, Sharp, ETC...

Take care Oakie!

I wonder what type of QD they used for the infrared and ultraviolet range? If it wasn't TQD's I wonder if the efficiency would have been higher if they had used them. http://pv-tech.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=262eef527f581e60bd4d1ac05&id=a7a99b96ef&e=2510c67cbd

5:17PM GMT+2A solar cell with 50% efficiency is no longer a pipe dream after researchers at at Fraunhofer ISE, CEA-Leti, Helmholtz Center Berlin and commercial CPV firm, Soitec reached a world record 44.7% conversion efficiency for a novel III-V-based solar cell.

Using Soitec’s commercial experience in wafer bonding techniques, researchers have developed a new multi-junction solar cell structure with four sub-cells, each optimised to absorb different spectral regions from ultraviolet through to the infrared.

The optimisation only took months from previously reporting a III-V cell with 43.6% efficiency, while increasing the efficiency by as much as 1%.

However, a IV-characteristic graph of the new cell highlights a level of variability in the cells ability to reach such high conversion efficiencies. The new record efficiency was measured at a concentration of 297 suns.

Frank Dimroth, department head and project leader in charge of this development work at Fraunhofer ISE said: “We are incredibly proud of our team which has been working now for three years on this four-junction solar cell. This four-junction solar cell contains our collected expertise in this area over many years. Besides improved materials and optimisation of the structure, a new procedure called wafer bonding plays a central role. With this technology, we are able to connect two semiconductor crystals, which otherwise cannot be grown on top of each other with high crystal quality. In this way we can produce the optimal semiconductor combination to create the highest efficiency solar cells."

“It confirms the acceleration of the roadmap towards higher efficiencies which represents a key contributor to competitiveness of our own CPV systems,” added André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, Soitec’s Chairman and CEO.

The research partners did not say if or when the novel cell would be put into production. Soitec announced earlier in September, 2013 that it had launched a CPV module dubbed the ‘CX-M500’ that employed III-V solar cells with a 31.8% conversion efficiency providing a nominal peak power output of 2,450 Wp.

I knew I should have addressed that filing and excluded it from the current time period. You are correct Rip.

Welcome TQman, your comments are too positive, stand by for a lashing from someone. Speaking of positive, by a freak phone dial accident I had the pleasure to converse with Dr. Bob. He extended his best to those on IHub but was bothered by the comments that he was involved with the selling of the stock as some have alluded to. For the record, he has maintained his position in shares registered in his name. So for those that think the price is being held down by those dumping shares, you have to eliminate Dr. Bob from the list. Unfortunately, his departure from the company was for a family medical reason, he is OK and he is not selling shares for funds. He is very excited about the future prospects of the company and has every intention of exercising his stock option rights in the future.
So stand by, QMC is not going to turn into ashes or dust and blow away but rather be the phoenix rising from the ashes of a shattered solar industry and provide the light to the industries looking to see future profits from a new source. That's from me, not Dr. Bob.
Looking forward to the future, though it can't come soon enough for me, Dr. Bob and everyone else reading this.

I'm pissed because they have refused to post my reply for the second day after three attempts: I've e-mailed and used their contact page also.
Is there a particular reason that you refuse to post my comment to your article on Quantum Materials Corp? I have attempted three times to reply to your article between yesterday and today and it is not posted yet.

If you look at only the company SEC filings and not at the overall industry developments or company news I can see where you would come to your conclusion. You are also correct about most penny stocks going under the first couple years. It's about 60% within the first 4 years. (See OVER ENTHUSIASTIC JUBILANCE courtesy of QMC/Solterra! January 28, 2010) and on top of that I'll add, most of those promoted penny stocks are a means to launder money. I'm glad you are not paid by Nanoco as it would take away from your accreditation. You do need to bone up more on what's happening in the industry. Nanoco is significantly in the RED and building out their process on an antiquated synthesis manufacturing method to supply their QD's. It is great that Nanoco is breaking the QD news to the world, AT THEIR COST. QMC will ride the coattails until it's time for a manufacturer to meet the markets needs and equally importantly for the markets to develop. Just as Nanoco needs cash to expand so does QMC. Only QMC has raised the cash they need when they need it and haven't given the farm away to Angel Investors or Venture Capitalists. Being frugal with others money is not a bad thing. 5 years in development and still growing in the Nano industry that will be the next renaissance is something your followers should really take a good look at. There's a reason QMC’s License agreements remain intact as the market develops, Cost, Quality, Quantity. No other CEO brought together the components to give the life blood to a new industry. QMC will allow companies to commercialize their products and increase their profit margins. That’s a successful business strategy. You really do want to take a second look at QMC and change the title to "A Cheap Stock Worth Looking At: Quantum Materials Corp."

Checked in and have to say let it go guys, get a tougher skin or take it over to Yahoo. Having to defend every post because of the bickering between a couple of you is not what made this board informative to all. Every post can be informative to another, that’s the beauty of independent thinking and use of the info provided. There are limits, Obsolete pushed it to the point that he’s not around anymore. Provide info that you believe to be truthful so everyone will be able to take something away, be it positive or negative.
A lot more people will be coming to the board in the next couple months, save your comments for them. If you have to say something then go to the comments section of one of the PR or subsequent articles and post something positive about the company or an informative link. That will help more than beating up on each other.
Lets hope we continue the upward trend from weekend reviews of last weeks news by those that have been sitting on the fence.

I think it's an opportunity to accumulate and average down. Picked up a nice chunk today. What do I think is going on? I wish I knew. Only 20,000 shares were unsettled (short) today, so that large volume today was covered with shares from somewhere. I'm suspecting it would be the same person or group that paid the penny stock pushers on the 4 Million volume day several months ago. I do know I'll be very happy when an 8K with meat in it does finally come out.
Dr. Bob is another issue, nice guy, very personable but I personally don't think he was an Indian, more of a Chief. Many of us with hands on experience know our managers today can't do our jobs if they really had to. The problem in such a small startup is everyone has to be a jack of all trades to some degree. That Chief sometimes Indian position was OK during the Saudi Arabia visits but after it dragged on and on, I believe, his vision of a quick growth for the company dwindled, along with the cash out of some of his shares to pay his commitments. Thus he found employment elsewhere. I think he will hold onto his shares as he had an inside look at what the future holds in the nanotechnology field that he so loves with QMC. Too many false starts took its toll on him.
Someday QMC will deliver the knock out punch that everyone has been expecting. The growth of QD use in various industries is pretty mind boggling. Just yesterday I was reading about QD's being used in the reproductive cycle. http://www.newswise.com/articles/mississippi-state-scientists-study-reproduction-mysteries Where will it stop is unknown as new eyes and minds keep looking at future uses.
I'm in for a long ride here and that includes many years (6-8) after QMC starts to generate revenue. Until then I'm taking one day at a time.
Bill

You are absolutely right, nothing in writing from NanoAxis or Millipore exists, that I can find, as a common denominator in any official documents.

If Milapore is Millipore I would say they have some experience in marketing, "On February 28, 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement under which Concord Investments Corp., a fully owned subsidiary of Merck KGaA, will acquire all outstanding shares of our common stock for $107 per share in cash. This business combination will create a world-class partner for the Life Science sector with significant businesses in high-margin specialty products and an attractive growth profile."
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/66479/000119312510117577/d10q.htm
On March 1st during the Merck/Millipore Conference call "Dr. Karl-Ludwig Kley: Good morning everybody. I would like to walk you through the highlights of the transaction and some of the strategic elements and then pass on to Michael for the financials. I will start right away with page 4. By joining forces with Millipore we will create a €2.1 billion world class partner for the Life Science sector. It will have a significant scale in the high growth bio businesses. It will have a comprehensive product offering with cutting edge technologies. Our global presence will be extended enormously, I would in particular mention the US which in the past has been one of the weak points of our chemical business; and as we did with Serono we will create a powerful innovation platform based on the two companies’ broad R&D capacities. This acquisition which is of very significant value for shareholders of both Millipore and of Merck and this is fully in line with the Merck acquisition strategy." http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/66479/000114420410012588/v176927_dfan14a.htm
If NanoAxis is associated in the Life Science field with Merck/Millipore as alluded to in #19055 how bad can it be?

Bill

I think it is Millipore from this article from a google search for Milapore / Nanoaxis, They were both at BIT's 5th Annual International Congress of Antibodies Conference this year. Closest connection I could find was they both made Quantum Dots at one time for "Commercial Nanoparticles for Stem Cell Labeling and Tracking". Hmm?

http://www.thno.org/v03p0544.htm
3.2. Quantum Dots
Quantum dots (QDs) are colloidal, crystalline seminconductor NPs made from II-VI or III-V elements (e.g. PdS, CdSe).23 Their electronic and optical characteristics are closely related to the size and shape of the individual crystals. In general, smaller sized QDs have shorter emission wavelength.52 QDs have unique absorption and emission properties that differentiate them from conventional fluorescent dye molecules. Specifically, QDs have broad absorption range from ultraviolet (UV) to visible, but exhibit distinct emission spectrum with narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) (typically 10-40nm).53 QDs are more resistant (can be up to 100 times) to photochemical degradation than fluorescent dyes, which makes them useful for tracking cells and monitoring biological changes over extended periods of time.54 Despite many advantages, QDs have inherent problems. QDs generally contain heavy metal ions such as Cd2+, Pd2+, Se2+, which are toxic.60 Stochastic blinking has also been observed for QDs. The involvement of dark states and blinking phenomena in QDs requires higher doses in order to yield the desired brightness and to increase the accuracy of quantitative measurements in cell tracking, cell imaging or other biological applications.55 However, higher doses may decrease signal to noise ratio and increase non-specific binding.

Currently, QDs are distributed by many large companies like Invitrogen, Millipore , eBioscience, Thermo Fisher, Sigma-Aldrich, Millipore, and Nanoco Technologies. Small vendors exist as well including Ocean Nanotech, Crystalplex, Nanoaxis etc. Amongst the numerous QD products, Qdot® (Invitrogen) is most frequently used for stem cell labeling and tracking, seconded by efluor® (eBioscience). Nanoco Technologies claims it is the only supplier of heavy metal-free quantum dots CFQD™ (cadmium-free quantum dots) which show bright emission from UV through the visible spectrum, and into the near infra-red.56 All existing QDs products are expensive ($150-$300 per micro molar). Thus it is necessary to improve the reaction methods to significantly reduce the cost of QDs and develop green chemistry to produce non-toxic QDs in order to satisfy the growing market need. Table 2 summarizes existing QD products from several major distributors.

Many have reported tracking of QDs labeled stem cells in vitro and in vivo. For example, Slotkin et al developed an ultrasound-guided in vivo delivery technique to efficiently label neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCS) of the developing mammalian central nervous system with COOH-conjugated Qdot® 620.57 In their study, COOH-conjugated Qdot® 620 were injected into the parenchyma of the caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE) of the ventral telencephalon of E13.5 mouse embryos (Figure 2A). After 5 days, Qdot®s were found in each of the three principle cell types differentiated by NSPCS, including GFAP+ astrocytes, NG2+ oligodendrocyte progenitors and ßIII tubulin+ neurons (Figure 2B-D). Those three principle types of cells were found substantial distances away from the initial site of injection, which indicated that Qdot® labeled NSPCS in vivo differentiated and migrated during the period studied.

Have been lurking behind the scene because I really have nothing new to add that would be beneficial, it's the same old story. Like all the other longs I'm just waiting. In the mean time it's off to Paris next week for the wife's 60th birthday. We will cruise the Seine River this time. Portugal last month was a blast on the Douro River. Who ever heard of going to Portugal for a vacation? It was well worth it. I have to tell you I don't miss many opportunities on these trips either to inform others about QMC. There is a lot of give and take meeting new people and you just never know. If they're interested I'll give them a handout with all the pertinent info so they can follow up when they get home.
Did I tell you I like being retired?

Congratulations dcmski on your engagement.

Down to .055 again, you can blame me. Only partially filled on Monday, got the rest this morning. Patience, never had it before, but it is paying off now. Before I'm blamed for not having faith in the company let me say that I have bought my fair share of this stock at the ASK and have chased it, only to see it finish the next day below what I payed. This has happened between .16 and .05. Lets see where it goes from here.

SK, before you posted these, I requested IH Admin to restore post 19025 as I too though they were relevant to the potential applications that TQD's could be used in or for. Your reference to Natcore could have put it over the top and into "off topic", I really don't know.

Bill

YES I DO have something positive to talk about! I retired last Friday (the 14th) and I'm on my way to Portugal in 12 hours. As far as I'm concerned at this point in the development of the company if I can pick up more cheap shares I do. Currently have an order in for .055 and it's not a $12 order. Doubt it will get filled but if the market turns south and someone gets cold feet I might get lucky. I'll leave it at that and the board can interpret it as they like. I have some packing to do in the mean time. Be back post 4th. Have a great holiday.

What would make up displays? I think there is plenty of room in JUST that field: TV's, computer monitors, ipads, phones, nooks, laptops, watches, alarm clocks, electronic thermostats, store signs, dashboards, cockpits and a ships bridge console, not to mention any military applications for flexible field displays and one of the grand dadies of advertising - commercial billboards (think times square and rock concerts). I would say the QD business is going to be a billion dollar business.

No brokerage cost associated with a private purchase (PP), they can give you the details. BUT you can find the address and phone number to contact the company yourself. If you can't by now then you need to not waste the time of company personnel that are multitasking for the benefit of all. So I reiterate, don't waste their time if you're not serious, it's not a game like it is around here.
