Rhombic Corporation Sponsors Nuclear Research Project at the University of Illinois

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2000--Rhombic Corporation (OTCBB:NUKE - news) announces that work has begun at the University of Illinois on the company's Disperse Composite Materials (DCM) technology to develop a low cost method to neutralize radio active wastes, especially the long lived nuclides which can be converted into stable nuclides.
The DCM technology is a method of manufacturing a high efficient disperse deposit material or dust plasma, that is made up of a homogeneous interior covered with a thin and strong connective coating.
The DCM plasmas can be produced as catalysts, as abrasive wear-resistant grinding materials of high strength, and as intermediate material for soldering or welding of various ceramic and other nonmetal items with metals such a solder for the junction of high temperature superconductors and electric current leads.
Among a large number of other applications of Disperse Composite Materials is the reduction of costs in the production of high quality lipsticks and other pigments, and the production of metal alloys with new kinds of mechanical properties.
The research underway on the DCM is based on patent rights assigned to Rhombic Corporation by Russian, German and American scientists, including Dr. Vladimir Fortov, former Russian minister of science, and Dr. Reinhard Hopfl, a German physicist.
The work at the university is supervised by Dr. George Miley of the Department of Nuclear Engineering, and Dr. Heinrich Hora of the University of New South Wales, Australia. Dr. Hora is a developer of the DCM technology assigned to Rhombic Corporation and consultant an the progress of the work.

CLARIFICATION to RELEASE from RHOMBIC CORPORATION Dated 28 September 1999
REGARDING IC&C Consulting Services Retained by Rhombic for Nuclide Battery:
The summary information provided by Rhombic in that news release was not clear, because it was a compressed summary of a large volume of information materials on IC&C's 75-year history rich in achievements recognized by world leaders and the international press.
The following are some key issues to be corrected:
1) The IC&C organization was erroneously identified as a Corporation and the name was incorrectly spelled:
The name is "not "International Computer and Communication Corporation"
The name "is" International Computers & Communications (IC &C)
2) The Executive Consultants retained by Rhombic are part of the IC&C Global Consulting Group
* This is a worldwide nonprofit group of former CEOs and senior executives with extensive experiences in technology, business and investment
* Since 1982 corporate and government clients from around the globe included Xerox Corporation, Ford Aerospace, Andrew Corporation, ETRI-Korea, Vincent Interactive Netherlands-New Zealand, newly-privatized FIT Telecoms, NASA, INTELSAT, the International Telecommunication Union, etc.
3) This consulting group is affiliated with the non-governmental non-profit association IC&C World Leaders Council:
* This is the only worldwide executive association for development partnerships and investments in computers and communications.
* Founded in 1923 in Paris as "International Council for Planning and Innovation", transferred in 1940 to the United States, and reorganized in 1982, IC&C has at present members m 30 countries on 5 continents.
* Members include companies such as Bell Atlantic and Fujitsu, academic institutions such as Deggendorf University and the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as government and corporate leaders.
* Since 1984 over 2000 leaders participated in 23 IC&C World Leaders Summits, sponsored by leading companies including Microsoft, IBM, France Telecom, Nokia, Fujitsu, Singapore Telecom, Teledesic, Globalstar, etc These summits resulted in hundreds of alliances and over 20 billion dollars in investments.
Out of respect for the world leaders who are members of IC&C's exclusive and highly- select "club" and who value privacy. IC&C does not advertise in the internet or in the media. All IC&C events are "by personal invitation only".

NEUTRON DETECTOR TO BE DEVELOPED
Rhombic Corporation announces that the company has acquired the technology to develop a solid state diamond based neutron monitor/detection device..
Because of the company's expertise in diamond films, and its patented :Forced Diffusion" technology, work on the monitor/detection device can be developed at the University of Missouri along side other applications of "Forced Diffusion"..
Rhombic Corporation is planning to develop the concept of a very small solid state monitor/detector. This would mean it also would be portable, and useful in personnel monitoring at nuclear power plants, as a portable detector of weapon's grade nuclear materials, as a sensor for nuclear reactors, and as a device for small area flux profiling.
By varying the doping element infused into diamond through "Forced Diffusion", it is predicted that an array of detectors could be built that are sensitive to various energy neutrons. Such an array could do small area spectrum analysis of neutron energies.
This proposed device also would be saleable to the purchasers of the Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) fusion devices soon to be produce din Europe. The IEC devices created neutrons by the millions per second through fusion of hydrogen atoms. Rhombic's proposed monitor/detector would help track the neutron activity.

REPORT ON NUCLID BATTERY
April 9, 1999

Recent planning among the Russian and German co-inventors of the Rhombic Radio Nuclid Battery (Dust Plasma Battery) includes information about extensive experiments by the Russian Academy of Sciences with anticipated new runs on the MIR Space Station.
Members of the forthcoming International Space Laboratory, after docking its third module, and scheduling astronauts for the year 2000, will provide a priority experiment in space to be performed by the Rhombic Dust plasma Battery.
The last experiments in the MIR space station were continued throughout January 1999, and are still being evaluated at present. One of the first experiments in the manned flight in early 2000 will be on dust plasmas. A Russian team will cooperate in the experiment with a team from the Max Plank Institute in Germany.
Dr. Heinrich Hora, representing Rhombic Corporation, recently initiated contact with the INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER AND COMMUNICATION CORPORATION (IC&C) in Reston, Virginia, for promoting the Battery for use among the low orbiting communication satellites to be launched in the near future for the fast expanding cellular and internet business.
Large-scale development and mass production of the Battery may necessitate the involvement of a large satellite company or a consortium of them. Doctor Hora's contacts with communication companies, in particular IC&C, may help Rhombic in these developments.
Dr. Hora's latest report indicates that the much lighter weight and lesser cost of Rhombic's Super Compact Battery may prove essential to reduce the projected cost of the first 400 satellites into space.
Former vice president of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dr. Vladimir Fortov, lately reported to Dr. Hora that there has been "extensive progress" of work on the SRB with dust plasmas.
Contacts will take place between the top producers of satellites at the IC&C summit in Geneva, 13/14th of June, 1999. Among new members being sponsored is the Russian Academy of Sciences. Rhombic Corporation soon will have the honor of being considered as a member.

NEWS RELEASE
June 21, 1999

Rhombic Corporation (OTC-BB Nuke) announces that the company has accepted a proposal from the University of Missouri to use its laboratory facilities, technical equipment, and personnel, to develop selected projects using the company's "Forced Diffusion" technology.
Purification of silicon carbide and gallium nitride wafer materials will begin July 1, 1999 under the supervision of Dr. Mark Prelas. The wafers will be bought from US manufacturers in two and three inch crystal sizes, and treated with the patented "Forced Diffusion" process.
The University proposal is to use the Rhombic technology "to purify the gallium nitride of the unintentional oxygen and silicon impurities incorporated into the structure, and to purify the silicon carbide wafers of the pollutants boron, nitrogen, and oxygen.
The gallium nitride wafer is a blue laser generator, and silicon carbide is a major factor in high temperature, high speed electronics. Both materials are light emitting diodes that can be modified to produce photovoltaic cells that assist in the conversion of ultra violet light to electricgy. Reducing the impurities in the wafers would give them an improved effectiveness with a longer life span, and simplify the construction of photovoltaic cells.
According to the 1999 Industry Report, "Silicon will remain the dominant material for substrates and wafers for the foreseeable future with demand exceeding $7 billion in 1999. The push for ever greater performance at lower prices has brought new wafer technologies into the market."
Rhombic's patented "Forced Diffusion" process can be used to add to or to take out impurities from diamond, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, and other special mterials to midify the optical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties of those materials.
Rhombic Corporation will announce soon that, beginning September, 1999, its "Forced Diffusion" technology will be used to develop a second project at the University of Missouri's facilities.
For details on Rhombic Corporation, call the company's public relations office at 1-888-821-6607 and 604-421-5543, or visit the Rhombic website at www.rhombic.com.
