Since the researcher who looked into Coretech is working on light-emitting silicon I checked into carbon and silicon both in comparison.
from ChatGPT
Certainly! Let's delve into the comparison between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silicon in terms of light emission and their respective applications: Fortunately, both seem to have promising futures. All the best to you and your family!
1. **Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)**:
- CNTs exhibit remarkable electronic and optical properties, but their light-emitting capabilities are not as prominent as their electrical properties.
- Some semiconducting CNTs can emit light in the near-infrared (NIR) range due to their bandgap properties. However, achieving efficient light emission from CNTs remains a challenge.
- Researchers are exploring ways to enhance CNT-based light-emitting devices, such as CNT-based LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and lasers .
2. **Silicon (Si)**:
- Silicon is widely used in electronics and photonics due to its abundance and well-established fabrication processes.
- Si-based devices, such as silicon LEDs and photodetectors, have been extensively studied and optimized.
- However, Si has an indirect bandgap, which makes it less efficient for direct light emission. Most Si-based devices operate in the visible or infrared range.
- Si-based LEDs are commonly used for display backlighting, indicator lights, and other applications.
3. **Comparison**:
- **Efficiency**: Si LEDs are more efficient than CNT-based LEDs due to their optimized design and mature technology.
- **Wavelength Range**: Si LEDs primarily emit in the visible spectrum, while CNTs tend to emit in the NIR range.
- **Applications**:
- Si: Consumer electronics, lighting, and photodetectors.
- CNTs: Research and niche applications (e.g., biological imaging, sensing, and flexible electronics).
- **Value**: Both materials have value, but their applications differ significantly.
In summary, while CNTs hold promise for light emission, silicon remains dominant in practical applications. Researchers continue to explore ways to improve both materials for various purposes! 🌟
On another subject, a friend alerted me to a 60 Minutes show this week on Quantum Computers. According to persons from Google and other associates like IBM they are "highly confident we will get there." Their chief on the project said there is the end of the decade like that's 6 years. It's worth a look-see beacause that's not very far away if we have any potential with chips and quantum computing.
While silicon was not mentioned or any other substance (On 60 Min) I recall Dr. Erik Bakkers the professor working on silicon quantum computing. I checked his website at Eindoven University of Technology with goal of creating light-emitting silicon. "Once we achieve this, it could change the way we think about electronics forever."
Gary:
Right both natural and manmade. What gets lost in this winner-take-all is the magnitude of human suffering already going on (wildfires, heat, drought, etc etc) Doesn't matter anymore almost how they are caused. This requires action. Forgive me because I know you particularly are well aware of this. For me I find using the words medical impact or something like that. For example, how does overexposure to smoke from increased fire affect a particular person or community or heat and inadequate hydration on an outdoor worker? So there is work almost one person at a time. We need to get back from abstract arguments to the concrete IMO.
I happen to think they could "market CHS to other producers" at a later date. It was probably best to choose one way not both at this time. What do you think about later, say semiconductors? I don't know would the "drop-in" not be used, and perhaps give rise to the methodology of marketing the CHS to other producers if they go that way. No way for me to know other than my own personal experience making choices.
This company, Group14 Technologies, "the US manufacturer of advanced silicon battery materials" is a private company that appears to be going to IPO. They raised $752,000,000 so far, including 100M from the US Department of Energy. Microsoft was one of the private investors. "three EV and two consumer electronic cell manufacturers announced commitments June 14--across Europe, Asia, and North America" If things are working out with our testing why shouldn't we get similar enthusiasm.

Interesting question as to how it feels to have 20% of something when originally “owning” 100% (“of the OS”).
We all recall it was mostly 100% of nothing (we bore the brunt of the risk eloquently said). Now it hopes to be 20% (of hopefully something).
Married late and we never had children but I’m looking for a way to relate to the question of going from 100% (pre-merger) to 20% of the OS (fully diluted).
We would have had 100% of our potential to have children – but no children (no company earnings). Still 100X0=0. Our loss.
Now we may be on to something…
Suppose we had a child which matured and may have a partner.
We never own the child let along partner or possible children (but may it start to feel like still we are part of something larger than we started from).
Maybe a child, (our collective shareholder kid) now has a partner and is about to have kid(s). I would hope I’d be grateful for the blessings received. I know life is brutal as we live out each moment.
Many here put in tremendous support on this site. Grateful. Hope that continues!
"the new partnership is already expanding The Coretech Group's Endurion battery outreach"...already engaged in significant discussions with cathode manufacturers in Korea" ..These manufacturers have expressed interest in partnering with Coretec to utilize Endurion in their battery developments."
Beats some clitch in completing the deal. Growth industries. This doesn't include any income silicon would produce initially, which is a very large growth projection.
Does this include any synergies? The abilities of management to advance Coretec's silicon multiple verticle prospects.
Recap of the month of March out from the company... Noted "The Coretec Group’s relationship with Core Optics will also prove essential in the solidification of Endurion’s partnerships and financial goals for the remainder of the year."
"Coretec CTO Ramez Elgammal will soon be featured on the eVTOL Insights podcast. Be sure to be on the lookout for updates regarding its release"
A few places stuck out that were mentioned by Coretech on compatibilities with Core Optics when the merger was announced 3/14, LIDAR, military.
**On-sensor AI technology** is an exciting advancement that merges the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) with image sensors. Let's delve into the details:
1. **What Is On-Sensor AI Technology?**
- **Definition**: On-sensor AI technology involves embedding an **image sensor directly onto an AI chip**. Unlike traditional sensors that relay image information to the CPU for computation and inference, on-sensor AI technology processes data **directly at the sensor level**.
- **Purpose**: By integrating AI processing directly into the sensor, this technology enables real-time analysis and decision-making, making it ideal for applications where speed and efficiency matter.
2. **Why Is It Significant?**
- **Efficiency**: Traditional image sensors capture raw data, which then undergoes separate AI processing. On-sensor AI technology streamlines this process, reducing latency and enhancing efficiency.
- **Real-Time Insights**: With AI algorithms running directly on the sensor, systems can extract insights in near real time. This capability is crucial for applications like autonomous vehicles, surveillance, and smart devices.
- **Autonomous Systems**: By building intelligence around each sensor, we pave the way for intelligent and eventually autonomous systems. These systems can continuously learn and adapt based on sensor data.
3. **Use Cases**:
- **Smart Cameras**: On-sensor AI enhances image recognition, object tracking, and scene analysis in cameras.
- **Automotive**: In self-driving cars, on-sensor AI processes data from LiDAR, radar, and cameras to make split-second decisions.
- **Healthcare**: Medical imaging sensors can benefit from on-sensor AI for faster diagnosis and treatment planning.
- **Industrial Automation**: Sensors embedded with AI can monitor machinery health, predict failures, and optimize production processes.
4. **Challenges**:
- **Data Volume**: High-resolution data (sometimes down to nanosecond precision) is essential for real-time analytics. Balancing data volume with processing power is critical.
- **Integration**: Ensuring seamless integration of AI processing within the sensor design is a complex engineering task.
In summary, on-sensor AI technology represents a leap forward in making our world smarter, more connected, and responsive through the fusion of AI and sensor data¹².

Mr Hoffman's information turned it around for me. I read that as optimism. We can make the partnerships well before the 3-5 timeframe if that timeframe is close.
Just catching up. I think you stated as much.
In my humble opinion, in this part of the dialog she is not particularly addressing Endurian per se because she was not asked about Endurium at that time. [when] The interviewer asked "at what point in time do you think we will see" I believe it was a generalization talking about the industry and it was about full-scale, practical production of such a silicon product. Moreover, it was not I think about creating which would come who knows however sooner..IMO
Gary:
It sounds like you are a survivor. That's good in trying times. BTW we live in one of the other Newport's. The one in Oregon a 1/2 mile from ocean.
I wouldn't recommend anything investment-wise though one way or the other. I guess I have been in mostly for 18 years (TDCP-Coretec) so I don't know if I'm capable of a hard decision at this point. Haha. I appreciate they reached out widely seemingly. Maybe that will pay off if there is safety in numbers.
Have a nice weekend.

Gary:
I would not argue with that! In fact, our main volunteer time is with beach cleanup. We joined an organization and beach captain periodic events. The main target is plastics, plastics, particulary styrofoam. I am convinced now how that what we keep out of going into the water does not have the chance to break down into micro-plastics, which in turn keep the microparticles out of the sealife that unwittingly digest them and even eventually into humans who eat the fish, as you well know.
https://newport.surfrider.org
P.S. Your ideas sound interesting but I sure don't have expertise in that area. We do live 1/2 mile from the ocean, have an aquarium in town, whales traveling through seasonally and a NOAA Pacific Marine Operations Center here. https://www.omao.noaa.gov/omao/marine-operations-center-pacific here. And the town is only about 11,000 pop. Check it out if you are out this way. My background was social work related.
Gary
Lease versus purchase and which way the incentives flow. Will give me something to think about too. Oddly, or not, I'm thinking how I can philantropise some of the appreciation ($) in green energy silicon by planting more trees somewhere they're needed or donating to youth groups who are willing and able to make CR boxes (air cleaners needed in many of the countries schools) which are very effective and easy to make!
We'll see. The tea leaves do favor a winner here. Time will tell.
John
Gary:
One of the large shareholders who also has his own Alpha Fund I believe its called, in the UK, and has lent money to Coretec some while ago once called this company (Coretec) a " unicorn company" I had to look it up at the time. It is a company valued above 1 Billion $.
John
So Joe... I see you are new to iHub. You first posted to iHub today.... to about 8 tickers all within a few minutes. Each with 1-3 words. You are pretty gushy here! Do you hold stock here? Just curious.
Dreamer: The slow pace to put the money to work building EV chargers across the state suggests to me it might be good to diversify our targets. Granted the silicon may help alleviate anxiety by getting more miles/distance. And the potential synergies (between our two companies) may help provide more avenues. It is good that people could charge their batteries at home, and it looks like most of the charging is done at home. But what can be done to (EV charge) when on the road??
Maybe we can come up with ideas, or there are ideas which haven’t yet been adopted.
The characterization of positive feelings the two teams working together supposedly had stuck out (as positive) to me today. Of course, we are not there to see them together. Nonverbals are hard to fake. But, I believe if they are having fun together miracles can happen. Hint hint.
Actually, today's presentation was kinda non-verbal. (I chuckle) I wasn't hearing well.
Actually, if the two teams were happy there might be some here who would be unhappy it feels like. (not funny)
Actually, there may be some unhappiness I can hear (hey my hearing back!). Better to walk away and find your bliss...It does come as somewhat of a shock to come this far and see unhappy campers. I feel like we are rounding the corner and about to see the finish line. Actually.
I was starting to catch on later. Had a problem with my slides at first. Was starting to catch talk of the Korean interestedness in the Endurion...manufactoring talk. company names.lots of experience..15 or so small cameras in a car nowadays...
I look forward to reading.
Our hearing of another's accent improves though:
"Between 14 days and 2 months
The adjustment process for hearing to a person's accent typically takes between 14 days and 2 months. This is because the brain undergoes neural changes during this time"
Best to back up with reading material 8K in few days and Core Optics.US website. Our ears will get attuned to the accent when money is involved :)
Hope their playing movin on up in the elevator!
Pin Number - I received Pin # when registering yesterday. The number is EXCLUSIVE to the person registering and cannot be transferred to another by the way.
I suggest you check you email box again. Could it have gone to JUNK mail? Failing that I might register again If necessary. I don't know for sure of course but anyone still waiting should act chop, chop! I got one pretty soon after registering yesterday.
Probably landing a plane must need to see the ground accurately if that's what the technology (worlds first?) is meant to do -judge how close to the ground.
I mentioned silicon potential to a friend who manages the small airport here (Oregon Coast) about use in vertical take-off and landing. He did say that a few other airports were exploring now, such as Tillamook, OR. I'll ask him about the technology OPTICS has next time.
Would the time-of-flight (tof) Core Optics be applicable now or in near future to the Vertical Take of and Landing eVTOL I wonder.
You might wonder how these technical advances will translate down the line to for instance our 3D monitor. Will they be seeing what the future holds already in newer function. In the beginning a toothbrush is a stick, turns into a brush, next a brush that vibrates..

In summary, the LiDAR market is poised for substantial growth, driven by technological advancements and increasing applications across various industries. 🌐🛰️📈
In my very humble opinion, with all the focus on Optics revenue, important as that is understandably; the prior Coretech even prior to this merger may/might/probably has made a lot of headway toward the customer making with all their testing, growing public understanding of silicon in batteries and companies doing reality testing and getting ducks in order. Most appreciated is their (coretech prior to the week) contacts and outreach probably with a great number of folks, and companies in this industry. This has all been said before here but I have to think there are some "loaded ammunitation" even without the new partner's appreciated and hopefully appreciable vaue. Just my opinion. Have a good day all.
Cheers have a good weekend.
Quick: I would like to ask you a question, as well. My response to the end-of-month target is from a personal point of view no professional experience, just observation of life. A target, even a date is a projection, a goal, or a best guess. A complicated thing like this present situation depends on more than the agent (the company), things beyond control, unexpected ones, positive or negative ones - somebody on the other team has a medical situation or better a baby.
I admire your work on research. I am starting to use more AI. When the company signaled earlier maybe a year or so ago they were going to be networking with many others I was heartened. There can be safety and possibilities in this. The question I am wondering is the possibility of multiple potential partnerships which could take longer of course - they did open up to the entire value chain - I wonder if something like this is happening. I don't know if you have any thoughts.
This has been seen here before I think. I have to keep in mind the growth potential. I also wonder about other applications, even semiconductors?

I should have shown Some automakers like Ford and General Motors have decided to start a partnership with Tesla to license out NACS ports for their vehicles in 2025.
So, Tesla has quite an infrastructure. And other manufacturers including Ford and GM have plans in the works to jointly license standardized parts to offer EV charging. Further others have plans that suggest this critical issue of charging has an all-hands-on.
Search question: USA car makers following Tesla's lead in electric charging support.
I decided to check on other USA Manufacturers:
That’s a great question! Yes, several car manufacturers in the USA are indeed considering following Tesla’s lead in supporting electric charging. Here are some key points:
Some automakers like Ford and General Motors have decided to start a partnership with Tesla to license out NACS ports for their vehicles in 20251.
Several vehicle manufacturers have announced adopting the J3400 connector as early as 2025, which will allow non-Tesla EVs to charge at Tesla stations with the J3400 connector2.
The Biden-Harris Administration has released an EV Charging Action Plan to outline steps federal agencies are taking to support developing and deploying chargers in American communities across the country3.
Most major companies plan to roll out dozens of new electric vehicle models over the next decade, are implementing electric vehicle sales targets, and committing to eventually end fuel-powered vehicle production4.
It’s an exciting time to be interested in electric vehicles! If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask! 😊

There is a Graphite + Anode 2023 in LA. Apparently, China is cutting off access to graphite.
According to the sponsor Benchmark Minerals Intelligence, "China's announcement of new restrictions on exports of graphite products has highlighted the country’s dominance of this market and shown the urgency of developing diverse global supply chains to produce battery anodes."
The gathering is about graphite and I didn't see any Silicon representation. Too bad maybe there should be sometime in the future?
"There has been all but zero planning for this moment from countries reliant on China’s graphite and anode supply chain. This moment is expected to spark the rise of anode plants outside of China” - Simon Moores, Chief Executive of Benchmark.
