You raise a very interesting point in regarding the semiconductor and nanotechnology sectors. They are two separate industries. Yet, I believe Archer messages itself exclusively as follows: ’a technology company that operates within the semiconductor industry'.
Could this be an unintended investment blockage that has seen many investors exit or not retain their positions?Most LT and savvy holders know that Archer’s is taking a multi-faceted approach which could see them end up anywhere. However, some may have solely invested for the quantum work, and if the so-called 'quantum winter' arrives, their work in the nanoscale materials/devices is more likely to provide near term commercialisation pathways regardless. It seems to me that nanotechnology is an easier-to-digest (excuse the pun) and possibly a better overall inclusion to their messaging.
Furthermore, if and when a number of long standing patent applications are granted, it'll be game on. On that note, I noticed that a number of Archer's recently lodged WIPO patents are now at the published stage. This is the step before it can be granted, ie, they have progressed their ideas to the public sphere for industry to peruse and marvel!
As one example, nanotechnology could change the face of medical implants by allowing miniature devices to be further reduced in size and inserted in the human body to cure and repair damaged cells using nano-materials. So, if nanotechnologies takes over the semiconductor industry as you suggest, it’ll be very exciting indeed!
