Read this paragraph again:
=====
Nanosys, Inc, is a rapidly growing advanced technology company, leading the burgeoning nanotechnology industry, through the development of nano-enabled systems. These systems incorporate novel and patent-protected nanostructures that integrate functional complexity directly into each individual nanoparticle, enabling the low-cost fabrication of revolutionary high-value, high-performance applications in a broad range of industries from life and physical sciences to information technology and communications to renewable energy and defense. These nanostructures include nanowires, nanorods, nanotetrapods and nanodots formed from all of the industrially important semiconductor materials (Group II-VI, III-V and IV) as their principal active elements. These systems exploit the fundamentally new and unique electronic, optical, magnetic, interface and integration properties associated with materials on the nanometer-scale. The initial applications include exquisitely sensitive chemical and biological sensors, high performance large area macroelectronics and lightweight high efficiency conformal photovoltaics.

They have no products, lots of IP, and lots of collaborations. They are unfocussed, as evidenced by mentioning every nanoparticle buzzword I have ever seen. They mention many unrelated properties that everyone knows is size dependent for some materials on the nanoscale. They mention all of the hip application areas; guns, sensors, light-energy, and electronics.
In my cynical opinion, they don't have shit (as a saleable product, I mean). To read this press release, they invented nanotechnology and IBM, INTC, MOT, GE, Samsung, Nichia, Siemens, Phillips, et al are begging at their feet for a peice of the action. They must be getting ready to go public.
I'll try and take a look at their patents next week and see what they've got.
Can anybody tell me I'm full of shit on this one and save me the trouble?
