Your subject.. wasn't a subject.. do you get that?
LOL.. have a coffee maybe that will wake you up. I'll try to simplify it for you.
You argue what automation means with a "theoretically knowledgeable ex-employee" (insert eye roll)
I point out that you have missed the point completely as flow chemistry vs batch (competitors) is what sets QMC apart and is the fundamental basis for success. Easily scalable mass production / highest quality / lowest cost.
If you have anything meaningful to say why don't you comment on batch vs flow and why you believe batch is better? I know you enjoy taking the contrarian view.
I'm not promoting anything just setting you back on track so you can see the big picture vs your attempted forays into arguing semantics
Nanoco statement as of April 2018
Runcorn now has the capacity to produce enough CFQDs to supply approximately 1 million large TVs per annum.
1 million TVs doesn't excite display manufactuers and will not make a market
Even the current leader in sales Nanosys is bleeding money and has yet to be profitable.
Keeping it real and holding folks to the facts.
There is simply no comparison between continuous flow chemistry and the batch production being utilized by Nanoco/Nanosys. You can try to cloud the argument by debating all day long what automation means BUT let's be clear. Flow chemistry and batch are fundamentally different methods of producing quantum dots and that is why QMC will be able to scale production to meet the demand at the lowest cost and highest quality.
See video for a basic understanding
Some of us here are more directional thinking and I believe that will serve us well. Seeing the picture before it develops is IMO a trait Squires has. My moneys is on QMC.
How do you know its not QTMM? Sure seems to describe QMC start-up/small manufacturer and perhaps Dow or Nitto Denko a world renown manufacturer?
Interesting find on Kisco's website main page.
UNIGLOBE KISCO, Inc. supplies a full range of products and services related to such industries as electronics, chemicals and plastics to different business interest levels.
Uniglobe Kisco provides customers and business venture partners alike with the latest information and technology, linking both supply and demand with solutions which identify and create new exciting opportunities.
Uniglobe Kisco has, for example, recently successfully mediated a collaboration between a world renown manufacturer with a start-up/small manufacturer, through providing proposals and consulting services to support the successful beginning of a great collaboration and new business encompassing worldwide supply support of both the raw material supply and the finished product respectively.

In complete agreement Jamis. If someone believed Squires was a liar and purposely deceiving shareholders WHY would you be invested or posting on this board? Makes absolutely zero sense to waste their time unless there was another motive. Might as well cut your losses and move on if that is what you are implying.
You have no clue as to the current value of the Bayer patents aquired by QMC.
I believe Steve saw the future potential where Bayer didn't.
Ever hear about Apple and Xerox.. it isnt the first time a company sold off a technology without realizing its potential
The Apple raid on Xerox PARC is sometimes described as one of the biggest heists in the chronicles of industry.” Isaacson quotes Jobs on the subject: “Picasso had a saying–‘good artists copy, great artists steal’–and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas… They [Xerox management] were copier-heads who had no clue about what a computer could do… Xerox could have owned the entire computer industry.”
Quantum Materials Corporation (OTCQB:QTMM) today announced the purchase of five diverse sets of patent families from Bayer Technology Services GmbH, the global technological backbone and major innovation driver for Bayer AG of Leverkusen, Germany.
The patents acquired provide broad intellectual property protection for advances Quantum Materials has achieved in economical high-volume quantum dot (QD) manufacturing. In addition, the Bayer patents cover volume production technology for heavy metal-free (HMF) quantum dots and nano-particles; increasing quantum yields for HMF quantum dots; and hybrid organic quantum dot solar cell (QDSC) production as well as a surface modification process for increased efficiency of high performance solar cells and printed electronics. The patent families were acquired through a cash purchase agreement and financial details will remain private.
“We acquired these patents to not only expand our technology portfolio in heavy metal-free and QDSC production, but also to protect the advances we have made to date in the volume manufacturing of nanoparticles, including quantum dots,” said Stephen Squires, Quantum Materials CEO and president. “Bayer is a research pioneer in the nanotech and QD fields and these early filings were awarded with broad claims. It will be very difficult for competitors to produce materials in volume similar to ours without breaching our patents.”
“Bayer Technology Services has been successfully working in the field of nanotechnology for more than 30 years . We are very happy that Quantum Materials is also using our patents to invest into new markets Bayer is not focusing on,” adds Dr. Guenter Bachlechner, Head of Technology Development and Senior Vice President of Bayer Technology Services GmbH.
The quantum dot-related patents extend Quantum Materials’ ability to synthesize numerous heavy metal-free organic periodic table groups in addition to its own inorganic Group II-VI composites. The company intends to incorporate each patent into its advanced production processes, including high yield InP/ZnS nanocrystals, a heavily researched QD in high demand in optoelectronics.
The solar-related patents describe the fundamental design of quantum dot solar cells and processes for optimizing quantum dots for solar and other printed electronics applications. The solar patents enhance Quantum Material’s licensed patent on printing OLED and QD solar cells and other printed electronic devices by gravure or high-speed roll-to-roll.

There's also a potential tie-in with the other futuristic TV tech: Quantum dots. Instead of red, green, and blue LEDs, it's possible, perhaps even likely, that it will be almost 25 million blue LEDs, with 2/3 of them sporting either red or green quantum dots. Why? Easier to produce, better efficiency, and doesn't "Micro Quantum Dot LED" just sound cool?
Apple to address AI, quantum dot, and VR at Display Week in May

Thanks Jamis, appreciate your input.
Your reasoning is false. QMC had a short run to $.40. Many investors here (myself included) are still even. How much money has Nanosys cost their investors? Flow reactor technology is the key to a cost effective way of making qdots. Its been QMCs mission statement since day one.
I wouldn't be opposed to a exclusive deal for displays only if that would allow the company to retain the rights to all other applications and fund the company going forward. Had the opportunity to talk to Steve and when asked where he saw the largest growth potential for sales he stated the display industry would be one of smaller markets for qdot sales, with lighting / solar / medical / energy storage etc. being far larger. I can't imagine he would think of selling at this point, if the technology is viable the potential business is many factors beyond what displays will provide.
There's no doubt that the skies the limit with all the applications there are. Just need that initial order to get us going!!

Good points as always Jamis. I believe after the filings are up to date and QMC is back to normal trading status we will see Canaccord start to bring new eyes on the stock. Until then I expect trading to be minimal.
You actually believe they don't do their homework? Doesn't matter how many shares they are paid if there is no value.
Canaccord Genuity is a global, full-service investment bank focused on growth companies with operations worldwide.
Nothing but a positive in my opinion glad you agree.
Lol. I dont think they would align themselves with a sinking ship. You really think they don't review the company before getting involved? Cannacord is in the business to make money. Guess we will see who is wrong.
Real positive sign today Canaccord Genuity was instrumental in driving Nanocos share price to an all time high with the Dow signing. They obviously know the technology and have abandoned Nanoco in favor of QMC. They will bring new investors to the table. Happy with this announcement.
this is a clear winner! thanks for the awesome tip!.. you are on fire!!
know what u own!!
this ones a clear winner! thanks for the tip!
any day now!
Thanks.. I looked for a bit but just came up with analyst articles.
Lol... I just said it was lacking in details.. no purchaser named.. no application and no terms.. you dont agree? I would have the same conclusion if it was QMC
Bit strange as the news wasn't PR'd.. looks like an Edison update.

Good indication of what will happen here when a contract is announced. Pretty vague news release for Nanoco and they have a nice SP jump.
Steve speaking in China at end of month. Coincide with an announcement?

QLED Not OLED Is The Future Of TV Technology, Says Analyst
https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2017/08/16/qled-not-oled-is-the-future-of-tv-technology-says-analyst/#2f0fa42b3a89
Freshfield is a lot further away IMO than the display market for revenues and I'm not worried about the filings. CES is what I am looking at for confirmation that QMC product is past the sample stage in development. Nanoco is in the same position as us.
I'm expecting something significant by CES 2018.

LED Phosphors And Quantum Dots: The Industry Is Rationalising
https://compoundsemiconductor.net/article/102916/LED_phosphors_and_Quantum_dots_the_industry_is_rationalising
Apple may have only just launched its first iPhone with an OLED screen, but technology never stands still. The company is reportedly pressing ahead with work on the microLED display technology which is expected to supersede OLED within the next few years.
microLED screens take some of the key benefits of OLED over LCD yet further, offering even greater brightness, color saturation and power efficiency …
