Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[mowo]

I just googled "what are staples made of" and learned that they are made of zinc-plated steel wire. It's so easy to bend a staple a couple of times and break it. So, the part needs to be significantly stronger and more elastic than steel - which liquidmetal is - in order to hold together over many years of tendon flexing.

With liquidmetal, I am most excited to see the incredibly innovative ways it is used in situations that no other material could suffice. It's hard to imagine entirely new things, so most people think in terms of "how can this existing thing be made better with liquidmetal?" The real excitement is: "what can now be made due to the existence of liquidmetal?"

I think this tendon repair device is an example of something that couldn't have been made with other materials. And, I think we will see many, many new applications that we can't possibly yet imagine. Have you ever seen a soda container made of wood? Nope... but plastic and aluminum? Yep! People couldn't have imagined plastic and metal soda-holding devices before they first saw them. We are going to see lots of exciting inventions that exist only because liquidmetal exists.
