And this is where some of those (esp on Stocktwits) are missing the point imo. "They" wonder how this can be good news for Atomera when "they" claim that the video states that Tesla "has developed their own chip"...

No, Tesla has utilized a new material (SiC) silicon carbide. ATOM began its journey/testing 4-5 years ago on regular silica and nitride-silica wafers. How this affects ATOM today is that Tesla appears to be using the technology that ATOM has patented in making that chip with SiC. Atom doesn't patent material it patents technology.

In addition, I recall reading one of those Tesla papers regarding SiC implementation that one of the biggest reasons Tesla went to the SiC material in their wafers was because SiC apparently can tolerate temps of 600° which EVs routinely generate- makes it even more important to find a way to reduce voltage leaklage i.e., MST
