If Neah has something in the works with Globalfoundries other than a Motorola 10 year reunion. Neah would not need Argonne Research Center...

They would have their own....( see below article on GF 8 billion dollar New York lab)

Which would explain the the sale of their old equipment, the lack of an office and the lack of employees.. ( that are consultants.see Neah employees on LinkedIn)

And would explain the lack of any Argonne update....

S4W and VOXX moved to this fall...

IMO there are alot of dots to connect....

GLOBALFOUNDRIES To Build R&D Facility in New York to Accelerate Advanced Manufacturing Technologies for Global Customers
Jan 08, 2013

Near-$2 billion dollar Technology Development Center (TDC) to strengthen global R&D ecosystem from mask to silicon to packaging

Milpitas, Calif., January 8, 2013 — GLOBALFOUNDRIES today announced plans to build a multi-billion dollar R&D facility at its Fab 8 campus in Saratoga County, N.Y. The new Technology Development Center (TDC) is expected to play a key role in the company's strategy to develop innovative semiconductor solutions allowing customers to compete at the leading edge of technology.

The TDC will feature more than a half million square feet of flexible space to support a range of technology development and manufacturing activities, including cleanroom and laboratory space. Representing an investment of nearly $2 billion, the facility will increase the total capital investment for the Fab 8 campus to more than $8 billion. Construction of the TDC is planned to begin in early 2013 with completion targeted for late 2014. Since breaking ground on Fab 8 in 2009, GF has created approximately 2,000 new direct jobs and that number is expected to grow by another 1,000 employees for a total of about 3,000 new jobs by the end of 2014.

The TDC will house a variety of semiconductor development and manufacturing spaces to support the transition to new technology nodes, as well as the development of innovative capabilities to deliver value to customers beyond the traditional approach of shrinking transistors. The overarching goal of the TDC is to provide a collaborative space for GF to develop end-to-end solutions covering the full spectrum of silicon technology, from new interconnect and packaging technologies that enable three-dimensional (3D) stacking of chips to leading-edge photomasks for Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and everything in between.

"As the industry shifts from the PC era to a market focused on mobile devices, we have seen increasingly strong interest from customers in migrating to advanced nodes on an accelerated schedule," said GF CEO Ajit Manocha. "To help facilitate this migration, we are making significant investments in strengthening our technology leadership, including growing our workforce and adding new capabilities to make Fab 8 the hub of our global technology operations. New York State's continued support of the semiconductor industry has created a strong collaborative ecosystem and helped pave the way for this additional investment. The new TDC will help us bridge between the lab and the fab by taking research conducted with partners and further developing the technologies to make them ready for volume manufacturing."

"This significant expansion demonstrates that the investments we have made in nanotechnology research across New York State are producing the intended return–the creation of high-paying jobs and generation of economic growth that is essential to rebuilding our state," said Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. "New York has become the world's hub for advanced semiconductor research and now, the Technology Development Center will further help ensure the innovations developed in New York, in collaboration with our research institutions, are manufactured in New York."
