It doesn't matter what they claim they need to sell heir dots if they don't get financing.
Competitor are producing smaller amounts but that contributes to a snowball effect. I tried it for myself last week when I went ice fishing. I made a little snowball and started rolling it on the snow in about ten minutes of rolling this ball
Was almost as tall as my car.
Momentum is in place for qtmm, will they prevail and be able to compete with the big boys with such little resources?

Record High Efficiency for Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cell
By Nathanael in blog | 1 Comments
21SEPTEMBER2011
Researchers from the University of Toronto, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia), and Pennsylvania State University have created the most efficient colloidal quantum dot solar cell of all time. An additional contributor was Huazhong University of Wuhan, China.
Colloidal refers to those elements in liquid suspension — commonly metals, as in colloidal silver. Quantum dots are nanoscale particles (that is, measured in nanometers, or 1,000 times smaller than a micrometer) of a semiconductor material like cadmium selenide, indium arsenide, or zinc.
These particles typically measure between 2 and 10 nanometers, or the width of 50 atoms, and because of their small size offer different optical and electrical properties from the “parent” element. The smaller the dot, the closer to the blue end of the light spectrum; the larger, the closer to red – a calibration process that scientists call “size quantization.”
These quantum packages can be delivered as a powder or as a solution, and the recent ability to produce them in mass quantities means that a single pound of product can create a large quantity of secondary-use products, namely in the spraying or printing of these quantum dots on layers of film to produce thin-film solar panels or building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products that can enhance traditional cladding materials like stainless steel and provide electricity as well.

Solar cells enhanced with quantum dot technology are the latest to receive attention from the military, particularly the researchers from the Army Research Laboratory and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Together with the University of Buffalo, these scientists are investigating the potential that quantum-enhanced technology holds for improving solar cell efficiency.
Because of their microscopic size, quantum dots (or “Q-dots”), at less than a nanometer wide, could provide an alternative production model for inexpensive, ultra-efficient solar cells. Q-dots are created in a chemical reaction that skirts the energy-intensive and expensive fabrication process required by the other dominant semiconductor in solar manufacturing currently, silicon.
Experts believe that by integrating quantum-dots into low-cost, lightweight solar cells could raise their efficiency by 45 percent or more. The University of Buffalo team discovered that by meshing q-dots into a solar cell, the cell as a whole is able to capture more light from the infrared end of the spectrum.
Other teams have pursued a similar line of research but the Buffalo team discovered how to “dope” their Q-dots to have a built-in charge, making them able to repel electrons that might otherwise get trapped. This in turn makes the solar cell more efficient as more electrons are able to contribute to electrical generation.
Once more funding is available to complete the research, either on a federal level like the DoD is providing or from the private sector, the technology will be evaluated for mass production.

LG Innotek (CEO: Young Ho, Hur) has commercialized a next-generation BLU that surpasses LED BLU (Back Light Unit), for the first time in the world.
LG Innotek announced its entry into a partnership agreement with a US nano tech player, Nanosys, for the commercialization of Quantum Dot on May 27, which should spur the mass-production of Quantum Dot BLU.
Quantum Dot, which is one of the most noted nano materials, surpasses AMOLED in terms of its color reproduction and offers excellent price competitiveness and size when combined with LED solutions; active efforts to commercialize the solution are in progress in various fields.
In the presence of Yun Yun-jung, the director of the Strategic Planning Team at LG Innotek and Jon Page, the CFO of Nanosys, along with other officials, both companies held a partnership agreement ceremony at Gonjiam Resort in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, and agreed to commercialize the Quantum Dot and expand the solution to a wide range of application areas.
According to the agreement, Nanosys will be the exclusive supplier of Quantum Dot tech, whereupon LG Innotek is supposed to manufacture Quantum Dot products based on the grafting of its world-best LED BlU tech into the solutions of Nanosys’ Quantum technology.
LG Innotek will slate to complete the construction of a Quantum Dot BLU production line and launch the full-fledged production of mini display devices such as cellular phones at the Gumi plant by September.
Last August, the company completed the development of a Quantum Dot BLU for mobile sets just four months after signing an MOU with Nanosys for Quantum Dot-related R&D cooperation, and submitted the product to the CES 2010, the world’s largest electric appliance exhibition, early this year.
The company has developed a Quantum Dot BLU model in which a pure white light has been implemented by combining blue LED and Quantum Dot solutions, thereby successfully improving the color reproduction (based on NTSC) of LEDs by 110% and introducing a solution that surpasses the performance of AMOLED.
The color reproduction of existing LED BLU solutions remains at 70%, while that of AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), which has attracted the industry’s attention recently as a new display material, stands at 100%.
In its nature, LED emits only primary colors such as red, green, or blue, so it inevitably incurs color loss and is poor in terms of controlling light wavelengths, since any blue LED requires the coating of a fluorescent substance when implementing white light suitable for BLU or other lighting solutions.
The Quantum Dot material, however, is capable of implementing every natural color and features an instrument that enables the easy control of the wavelengths of light, which leads to outstanding color reproduction and brightness of light.
Furthermore, Quantum Dot offers greater price competitiveness and size expandability than AMOLED, and is accordingly expected to be rapidly adopted as a light source for medium and large-size display devices such as LCD TV sets in the near future.
“LG Innotek is the first company to have achieved the mass production of Quantum Dot products. We are looking forward to supplying an optimal light source for displays in terms of quality, performance and price,” declared an official at LG Innotek.
¦ Glossary
BLU (Back Light Unit): A component which emits some light at the rear of an LCD panel so that the picture captured on the LCD panel of a display unit – i.e., cellular phones, monitors, LCD TV sets, etc. – will be highly visible.
Quantum dot: A nano material of 10~15?, it produces shorter wavelengths of light as its particles get smaller, and vice versa. By using a mechanism designed to control the size of its particles, this material can generate virtually all types of light in the range of a visible ray.
It would be nice to see some action shots of their setup.
We are all invested in this and don't have one image of something significant.
The 5k is compensation for their efforts maintaining all this together. its actually peanuts in the larger picture (if you look at total debts...)
This is 2+ years away if they make it...
There wont be any beach party in 2012 thats for sure.
I wish them all the best. This business is as hard as it gets.. they are not selling bread that would be easier to execute.
I'm Holding long and if this one makes it, it will be a dream come true...
GLTA.
I think they waiting for Obama to get re-elected.
On a more serious note, at least we know SS is alive.
Glta
Couldn't they just get picked up by a big company with serious r&d money?
Let's word it as financing... Hope these guys can hold on until they can make real sales.
If they had sales, that's how.
Well I'm not expecting too much, just another sign of life.
This might be an exciting st valentines day of they can show something tomorrow!
Glta
That was me bought another million
500 in a few minutes!
They will have to file by march for sure because they might get delisted on the pinks also and then what?
You think the company is going to report by st valentine's day like last year?
Good or bad it would still be good
Oh yes I agree it won't go over 500 because it's going to split four times.
Hey remember 323 I think he meant 646
I think He's explaining how te next iPhone will be built
They should File asap.... GOOD OR BAD I DONT CARE
Same could happen as what you all been through with Hague.
If they get delisted on this market also, then what?
She just said to tone it down and stay on topic.
I invited her to the beach party.
Every now and then its good to read this...

Quantum Dot Continuous Flow Processing Breakthrough Achieved
0
This new quantum dot production process using a new microreactor and software controlled continuous flow process has been successfully developed and operated for delivery of mass produced quantum dots by Quantum Materials Corporation and the Access2Flow Consortium of The Netherlands. It replaces batch synthesis and has potential for high improvement in both yield and conversion. Tetrapod Quantum Dots are used in a variety of emerging applications including solid state lighting, QLED displays, nanobio applications and are proven to have superior performance characteristics surpassing spherical nanoparticles. This process will also be used for QMC’s subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies' solar cells and solar panels..
The inherent design of the microreactor allows for commercial-scale parallel modules to achieve large production rates at low cost in a regulated, optimized system. This breakthrough production process provides flexibility in the choice of materials used to produce the quantum dots including heavy metal free (Cadmium Free) quantum dots and other biologically inert materials.
Quantum dots have been widely recognized for their potential in next generation display technologies, solar cells, LEDs, OLEDs, computer memory, printed electronics and a vast array of security, biomedical and energy storage applications. According to research group BCC Research, the 2010 global market for quantum dots was estimated $67 million in revenues, and is projected to grow quickly over the next 5 years at greater than 50% per year reaching almost $670 million by 2015.
Quantum Materials offers to manufacturers that it is now realistic to test the advantages of quantum dots to establish higher performance benchmarks across a number of industries and product applications. Many discoveries have literally been held back by the difficulty in manufacturing quantum dots, the lack of quality and uniformity of quantum dots, and the corresponding high cost, with the current average cost of quantum dots running being between $2500 and $6000/gram. This technology removes the roadblock from widespread adoption of the quantum dot as a basic building block of technology and services much like the silicon chip that has ubiquitously advanced corporate function and consumer lifestyles worldwide.
”Our goal from the onset has been to achieve a production rate of 100kg per day with a 95% or greater yield,” according to Stephen Squires, Founder and CEO of Quantum Materials Corporation. He added that “with this breakthrough QMC has coupled two disruptive technologies resulting in the potential to now achieve that goal.”
According to QMC’s Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Bob Glass “Besides the scalability indicated, in my opinion, the truly remarkable accomplishment in this breakthrough is its adaptability to other inorganic metals and elements, including cadmium-free Quantum Dots.”

I'm going to apply
After this whole discussion, it turned out to be a big day in terms of trading. I wonder if management sold those big chunks.
Dd if SS responds which he is not required to please let us know. It would be like the gods would descend upon us!
Glta.
Ps (if by march 31st we don't get any news. Don't be surprised
To have another debate on here. And I will email Sec on questionable points.
This stinks.
I hope this is not a play and you guys are for real.
If people have doubts please don't tell them to get out.
Makes you look even more sketchy.
Obsolete questions are valid. Put your your pride on the side.
If one is questioning their investment it sure dam well be valid. be with the lack of info , updates on websites... Etc...
I just want filings, good or bad.
I don't, until they show profitability.
And I don't call that negativity I want to know wtf did I invest in on a quarterly basis.
It's ok lets all stay quiet, they are in stealth mode.
How dare we question Wtf is going on?
In one month, we will be one year behind on financials.
Glta
Does this company have a board of directors?
I have been thinking exactly the same, no bull...
I hope that's not the case,.
I think in their next filing they should make a furniture sale to show some revenue.
Soon the investors will be one year withoiut a clue of financials.
Geeez you guys should go yahoo boards under udc and type qtmm not pretty,
http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_U/threadview?m=tm&bn=13745&tid=110848&mid=110862&tof=7&rt=1&frt=2&off=1
I'm down 28% some less some more on the board here.
I stopped recommending this to friends and family, I'm all in , feels like I'm playing poker blindfolded with this one.
Everyday I look at my stocks this is the exceptional stock that fails to make any news. And yes it gets disbursing to read about what's going in the world outside of qmc's dots.
I think they should of stayed private if they were to run things this way. At this stage it feels like a long shot and I wouldn't go all in on this one.
Sorry all for my point of view, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
If this pulls through one day, we will all have a good laugh.
Either way , good or bad the outcome. it will be one hell of a lesson.
GLta
If we're taken for a ride I sure hope it's not from board members.
Great post wrote docked wrote himself last week
It Also comes with the responsibility to file on time and running things by the book. That's one thing they are not doing and I hope
its for good reasons....
Why Are we left in the dark?
If they havent made any sales fine... but tell us your still alive.
Is that new info or your just saying?
Two stock for your post...
