Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[Surfint]

After initial innovation, improvements, etc., usually happen a lot faster. The Caltech Research team comes from the beginning/it's not like they are doing something totally new from scratch. The same could apply for other competitors of LM.

Also, a more general material (vs. specialized properties) could have more widespread application. It depends on the application and market.

LQMT may come through with a great announcement soon, but any organization in a competitive field that is known to intentionally "take their time" doesn't sound competitive. They need to get bought out by an organization that can take things forward.
