Dr. Jabbour has scientific and technical experience with the Company's technology and products. Much of our technology development was accomplished on site by Dr. Jabbour at the Arizona State University labs but such work was relocated to better accommodate the logistic requirements of our Chief Science Officer, Professor Ghassan Jabbour, who is working at Kaust University in Saudi Arabia. The foregoing scientific knowledge is an important asset to a technology driven company and to Dr. Jabbour's presence on the Board of Directors of the Company.
Huh? Why arent articles about QDots relevant..You really need to do some research on this company you apparently have shares in because thats what our product is. The amount of new articles being published regarding Qdot use is an indication of the future market potential of QMC. The ability to mass produce has been a hurdle for many of these application to be a viable product. QMC has provided a solution with Access2Flow's reactor technology.
Crunch, how dare you request that investors do DD! And posting a rebuttal to CS and Denise, actually challenging them to post factual information. The shame, its almost like your trying to help them for some strange reason.
Brainstorming on Solar Energy
The world’s biggest energy provider and the world’s newest research university are collaborating on the future of energy.
Flexible, wafer-thin solar panels show great promise in sunny Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Aramco Engineering Services professionals met recently with King Abdullah University for Science and Technology (KAUST) leaders to brainstorm over research into energy conservation and solar energy.
The company was represented by Ahmed M. Al-Zahrani and Ali H. Al-Qahtani of the Process and Control Systems Department (P&CSD), and Ali M. Al-Qahtani and Richard A. Horner of the Research and Development Center (R&DC).
The visitors saw KAUST’s state-of-the-art facilities — the Shaheen Supercomputer; the 3D Visualization Center; and the Nanofabrication, Imaging and Characterization Laboratories. Then, Solar and Alternative Energy Science and Engineering Research Center director Dr. Ghassan Jabbour explained the university’s long-term basic research-and-development interests in the field of solar and alternative energy.
O
Also on hand for KAUST were business manager Dr. Janne Virtapohja and Economic Development senior management members Omar Abdulhaid, Raed Bkayrat, Talal Bakri and Sami Obaid.
Discussions addressed the varied solar-energy intensities across the Kingdom and their impact on technology choices.
KAUST representatives explained their research road map, which focuses on developing low-cost solar energy solutions based on thin-film materials and advanced material science. That view fits well with Saudi Aramco’s own solar energy outlook, which was explained by Ali H. Al-Qahtani.
Company participants explained how solar energy might help reduce domestic consumption of oil and gas, allowing more hydrocarbons to be exported, and benefit the Kingdom’s fuel flexibility.
From left are Ahmed M. Al-Zahrani, Ali M. Al-Qahtani, Dr. Ghassan Jabbour, Richard A. Horner, Omar Abdul-Hamid of the Research and Development Center, Dr. Janne Virtapohja and Ali H. Al-Qahtani.
A number of potential points of collaboration were identified for further investigation. They included a techno-economic appraisal model, the performance of commercial solar panels, assessing domestic business opportunities, and developing low-cost solar technology for specific Kingdom challenges such as cooling, desalination and pumping.
To expedite their collaboration, KAUST and Saudi Aramco will evaluate and develop a solar energy industry program at the Thuwal campus in the planned Economic Development Park. Follow-up meetings were set for early this year to map out future cooperation in solar energy R&D, education, and technology evaluation and development.

Why does Steve have to get on a soap box for you? The information is in the filings, if that isnt enough to convinve you maybe this investment is too risky for you to handle. Maybe try Facebook..
I read Solar Expresses post, I know he has looked for a relationship between QMC and Sargent but until I see a PR mentioning he has been working for us IMHO it is not there. We are so far along I would think he would have been included officially by now. Thanks.
If Sargent was our frontman he would be working for the company i've never heard his name mentioned in any company PRs. IMHO bringing up Sargent once again is like beating a dead horse. What would you rather have Sargent or Dr Ghassan Jabbour who runs Kaust's solar/nano division?
IMHO, Steve and his team are concentrating on the low hanging fruit. Large scale solar projects in KSA would require huge amounts of DD, if our technology is the future of grid parity solar the saudi's will be making sure we arent the next First Solar. Perhaps other avenues will help in getting the company intial revenues.
Hawk as much as i wish it were otherwise i am siding with Rip's analysis, we would have seen and 8k issed if there was a done deal. I suspect we are ready but the possible deals could be huge in scale if we are discussing 1GW + scale solar projects there may be months of DD and negotiations to work through. A percent of revenues either way could have millions of dollars involved. IMHO we are close.
Quantum dots a solution to anti-counterfeiting.
http://globalpapersecurity.com/canadian-business-magazine-counterfeiting-cat-and-mouse.htm
Works for me Swamp! I don't think there is anything wrong with having big expectations. Just look at all markets QDs are forcasted to be used in...IMHO nanotechnology will be the next great leap forward in human advancement.. QMC will be a big contributer as QDots form the basis of many applications. GLTA
Lol BigE you just cant give up...people laughed at Bill Gates too when he started in his garage. How do you think some of these huge companies got to where they are? They didnt appear out of thin air and suddey become a multi billion dollar company. BTW the serious investors are already on board, this compay is NOT a pump and dump. If FG comparision to Apple scares your buddies away they simply have not done their homework. IMHO going forward if we are structuring deals as JV the revenue streams will be continuosly growing and expanding in multiple directions.
Quantum Dots Provide Quantitative Profile of
Pancreatic Cancer Biomarkers on Single Cells
http://nano.cancer.gov/action/news/2012/apr/nanotech_news_2012-4-2a.asp
The implications for quantum dots are staggering. Solve the worlds energy crisis, cure cancer and other major life threatening diseases, reinvent displays and computers as we know them. If we were involved in only one of these markets the revenues could be in the billions. IMHO QMC will play a major role.
GLTA
Clear, now you can order a qd and see if they are for real. Let us know.
In the future, scientists could theoretically control your brain cells with light and quantum dots
http://www.iheartchaos.com/post/17638426847/in-the-future-scientists-could-theoretically-control
Big round of applause to BigE for supporting the SP single handedly...lol
Thanks Chess for the detailed response to the subtly allegations being thrown around..as we all can see the amount of effort and energy chess has spent to discredit false accusations is considerable, in the future I hope the mod's will remove posts that contain "potshots" against the company without facts to backup claims. I am not against information being presented if the company or its bod has been in violation of sec rules or lawsuits that could result in character insight. In fact I was one of the intial board members that posted SS's court case with the IRS. GLTA
Thanks for stopping by Art, miss your humor and insight...some people just dont get it and they never will.
What is this "rampant speculation" that your talking about?? Please provided specific posts. All I've witnessed is quotes from the 10k stating facts and articles outlining the potential of quantum dots and their future as a markef for.QMC. GL2U.
What you've done research.. Now thats funny ; )
Denise, I dont get it, you saying nothings changed since last July? There has been a 10K and a Q since then. Ion if you dont like the radio station you can always turn the dial.
Have you even read the last 10k? Doesnt it confirm progress by companies they are alligned with ie. Nanonaxis and Access2flow...
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.
Benjamin Franklin
What a bunch of garbage those last few posts are..and yes once again bsullivan needs someone else to do his homework...
Yeah ok, your buddy is going to raid Steve's office and give you the low down on qmc..some people...unbelievable
Nice work Hawk!
"Alternative Energy Adviser to the Kingdom". That sums it up for me. Dr Jabbour oversees 2 football field sized nano labs. This is a man of incredible intelligence and influence. Steve has utilized University labs and students to advance our technology resulting in minimal dilution for shareholders. SS has assembled a team of world class talent as our BOD's. Reading and viewing Hawks post reassures me we are in good hands. IMHO the patient investor will be rewarded, as they say timing is everything and my feeling is Steve will reveal when the moment is right.
GLTA
One more step to being compliant, hope to see the final Q and then some news to follow..
GLTA
IMHO they have been doing more than going in circles.. been looking like steady progress. We have to understand QMC is developing a market for a product that has never been mass produced before.

Quantum Materials Corp Achieves Milestone in High Volume Production of Quantum Dots
Thanks Chess, and Freegrass for the get out of jail free card. The IHUB admins mentioned you had good things to say about me. Guess I'll have to watch my P's and Q's in the future.. Some of us have been here for along time and I know good things are in the works.. hang tough everyone.
QMC’s quantum dots to give Nanoaxis a helping hand Sep 27, 2011
The firms are uniting to develop tetrapod quantum dots including cadmium selenide based ones to produce cancer diagnostic kits andtools to diagnose or treat diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, breast cancer and major depression.
Quantum Materials Corporation (QMC) and Nanoaxis, have formed atechnology alliance combining QMC’s tetrapod quantum dot mass production technology with NanoAxis’ advanced research expertise and intellectual property in gene therapy biomedical nanotechnology.
The aim of the alliance is to develop tetrapod quantum dot based cancer diagnostic kits and for other tools used in theranostic applications including Alzheimer's, type 1and type 2diabetes, breast cancer and major depression.
QMC will develop specialised quantum dots for NanoAxis to use alongside its proprietary biomedical nanomaterials for a multiplexing drug delivery platform for drug/gene therapy and diagnostic medical devices technologies. The technology alliance will allow these technologies to be developed rapidly due to Quantum Materials' ability to create the highest quality quantum dots in quantities necessary to support multiple projects with timely deliveries.
The immediate goal is to develop a QD microarray device for detection, diagnosis and quantification of early cancers. The QD-MI device will be designed for rapid detection and grading of various multiple cancers using blood assays with higher accuracy and at less cost than current single ELISA assays. All diagnostic and pharmaceutical products will include QMC quantum dots functionalised by NanoAxis biomedical IP nanotechnology.
According to a recent report published by BCC Research the total market for nanobiotechnology products is $19.3 billion in 2010 and is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 9% to reach aforecast market size of $29.7 billion by 2015.
Stephen Squires, CEO and President of Quantum Material Corporation and its subsidiary Solterra Renewable Resources, commented, "This alliance will foster abreakthrough in theranostic science as it enables mass production of NanoAxis nanomedicine product pipeline. The goal is tomake these biologically adapted quantum dots the ideal choice for in vitro and in vivo applications for high throughput, efficient and cost effective applications in the biological and medical market spaces. Quantum Materials' ability to create tetrapod quantum dots of various materials, shapes, sizes and characteristics that can serve as delivery platforms for Nanoaxis products will allow for rapid commercial development."
"This is an exciting moment for our industry. We see this Technology Alliance between NanoAxis and Quantum Materials Corp as bringing industrial scale production to the cutting edge of nanomedicine research. The synergy of the combined technologies is enhanced by the cooperation of our two companies' seasoned management and research teams and we believe this partnership will be the catalyst of many biomedicine advances", said Krishnan Chakravarthy, NanoAxis LLC President and CEO.
Siddhartha Kamisetti, Director of Global Strategy at NanoAxis, added, "This alliance opens the door for pioneering developments in the biomedical space and presents a significant opportunity to assist people suffering from a host of diseases and ailments throughout the world.
Just one example of where this company is headed.
Merry Christmas to all! Enjoying Christmas at Disneyland with my family, all the the best to the QMC faithful. 2012 will be a major coming out party IMHO.

Rip, thank you for an informative post, always enjoy your contributions.
Cheers
I hope anyone who has access to CBC, is watching the third episode in the Nano series. Quite a showcase for Dr. Sargent. It hits on Solar, water filtration among other green technologies. Rice University is also represented. The show will be available online a week from now. Highly recommended.
We are ahead of the curve here people.
Cheers Rip, and thanks for the follow up comments. I agree completely on all your points. We are headed to better days here folks! Have faith..
GLTA
I think you guys are getting carried away here... This is from the companies website. The confusion is the patents are held by Arizona University in Tucson NOT by ASU (Arizona State University). Hope that clears the roll to roll patent issue up.
MANUFACTURERS
Advantages of QMC Tetrapod QD
Quantum Materials Corporation new "greener" synthesis of Tetrapod CdSe Quantum Dots
Low Cost of non-REE materials that can produce high luminescense and efficient QD
Continuous Flow Processing for consistent, reliable, stable, and high quantity product
95+% conversion of Tetrapods in narrow frequency ranges for precise uses
High Selectivity of Arm Width and Length for fine tuning of product characteristics
Simplified Purification due to uniformity and non-toxic synthesis chemicals
Can be capped with shells or dyes during production
Printing Technologies Flexibility
Dr. Ghassan Jabbour, QMC’s Chief Science Officer and Director of the Solar Center at KAUST developed quantum dot printing technologies for which we are granted the exclusive worldwide license by University of Arizona Regents. This broad patent directly affects and makes possible multiple printing applications for continuous high speed roll to roll silk screen printing, rotogravure and flexography at rates of hundreds of meters per minute. We are developing various inks making best use of our QD for different printing applications. Processes for curing, lamination and die cutting of one meter wide printed product are part of the production line. Our subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies is developing a solar cell using this patent and other proprietary intellectual properties.
Joint Venture Partners
It’s a new business world today, and businesses are working together combining their expertise to speed development of new products. QMC is inviting proposals for joint venture agreements licensing our mass-production quantum dot and/or printing technologies for your product’s commercialization. We intend to form partnerships either for joint development of technology or through favorable supply agreements.
QMC is bringing this technology to market years ahead of expectations. As our story becomes known, we believe acceptance within many vertical industries will be widespread. Early adopters will have a key marketing advantage in their industry or territory.
Quantum Materials Corporation, with its’ subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, has assembled a technology portfolio that includes an exclusive international licensing agreement with Rice University for the manufacture and sale of quantum dots for photovoltaic cells and for electronic and medical applications, and an exclusive international licensing agreement with the University of Arizona Regents for their printing technologies to produce low cost, high-volume printed R2R processes. Our various printing technologies are perfectly matched to our quantum dot’s capabilities and characteristics. Depending on the application, R2R silk screen process, rotogravure, flexography and inkjet quantum dot printing processes are available now with specialized QD inks adapted to each process. Commercialization of projects that you may have dreamed to be possible in ten years become real today, with a ready supply of our tetrapod quantum dots.
Cost Plus Percentage and Royalty Agreements
For those business or industrial products not requiring a continuous supply or large quantities of tetrapod quantum dots, we will entertain proposals for kilogram quantities on a cost plus percentage or royalty agreement. There are many products which might use small quantities of QD, i.e., quantum lasers, which at the same time immeasurably add to the product’s capabilities and value. These types of agreements would recognize the contribution of QMC Tetrapod QD to the product.
Mass-Production of Thin-Film PV Quantum Dot Solar Cells
QMC's subsidiary Solterra Renewable Technologies has the parallel objective of revolutionizing the solar cell industry by being the first solar cell maufacturer to be able to offer a solar electricity solution that competes on a completely non-subsidized basis with the price of retail electricity in key markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Solterra's primary focus will be to combine QMC's CdSe Tetrapod Semiconductor Quantum Dots with our proprietary Roll to Roll quantum dot printing processes. Quantum Dot printed solar cells are very cost-effective (since material is only deposited in the required areas) and can be performed with fewer steps at lower temperatures suitable for flexible plastic substrates. Continuous R2R processes can produce 1 gigawatt of solar cells per year running at the relatively modest speed of 100 meters per minute for one 8 hour shift. Depending upon project requirements, an additional 2-3 work shifts plus scale-up to 600 meters/minute are well within possibilities. The economies of scale from a single production line operating at high output are perfectly suited to quickly supplying large solar farms. Clear LCOE advantages over CSP and silicon panel technologies can be readily ascertained.
Mass-Production of Printed Electronics
While Solterra will be dedicated to R2R Solar Cell Printing, QMC will adapt the same R2R quantum dot printing presses for printed electronics via high speed silk screen process, rotogravure or flexography. Electronic devices and circuits can be made by printing solution-based materials onto flexible substrates in layers with different functions and with high precision. Possible devices might be photovoltaic cells, an emissive or reflective display, a battery or any combination of electronic components. Materials and manufacturing costs become lower and high customization becomes feasible. Printed quantum dot electronics will create new applications that are lightweight, robust and with production costs suitable for disposable electronics.
Steve Jobs is clearly one of the most universally admired chief executives in history. But it wasn't always that way.
He didn't have the faith of investors back in 1997, when he returned to Apple Computer. The company was barely hanging on, and when Jobs was named interim chief executive in September, the stock price was around $5.50.
What if you had believed in him back then? What if you had bought 100 shares and sold them on Aug. 24, 2011, the day Jobs resigned as CEO?
Apple (AAPL) shares gained nearly 6,740% in that time. And those 100 shares? You would have come away with a cool $37,068.
Is SS the next Steve Jobs??
Still seeing articles suggesting QD being used for the iPhone 5 display. IMO it will not be a reality in this version of IPhone but it is encouraging to see rumors suggesting this is the new tech to consider going forward.
