CalNano’s Materials Science & Technology and the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Today we live in a period known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). It is, in general, a fusion of technologies that blur the lines between the physical, digital and biological worlds. The pillars of 4IR, in part, include: autonomous robots, simulation, system integration, the Internet of Things (IoT), materials science & technology, cloud computing, augmented reality, big data and additive manufacturing.
In particular, materials science employs nanotechnology as a means to manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular levels. Nanomaterials are impacting various sectors including medicine, energy storage and electronics. In the context of manufacturing, materials are the substances used to create products. The properties and characteristics of nanomaterials determine how they are used.
Material science is developing new materials such as polymer, ceramic and composite materials whose tailored properties are essential for advanced manufacturing techniques like 3D printing and other digital fabrication methods. As such, it allows for the creation of highly customized and innovative products across various industries. Further, additive manufacturing is the industrial production name for 3D printing. It is a computer-controlled process that creates three-dimensional objects by depositing materials layer by layer. It uses computer-aided design and allows for the creation of objects with precise and complex geometric shapes.
The relationship between CalNano’s material science and 4IR includes:
• Advanced materials for additive manufacturing: Material scientists are developing new materials specifically designed for 3D printing, allowing for complex geometries and customized properties that were previously not possible.
• Smart materials with integrated functionality: The ability to create materials with embedded sensors, actuators, and responsive properties enables the development of "smart" devices that can adapt to changing conditions.
• Data-driven material design: Utilizing big data and machine learning algorithms to accelerate the discovery and optimization of new materials with desired properties.
• Multifunctional materials: Developing materials that can perform multiple functions simultaneously, leading to lighter, more efficient products.
• Sustainability focus: Research into environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing processes to address sustainability concerns in the manufacturing sector.
Industry examples of how CalNano’s technology & engineering prowess is impacting the 4IR include:
• Aerospace industry: development of high-performance lightweight alloys for aircraft components using additive manufacturing.
• Electronics: advanced materials for smaller, more efficient microchips and flexible electronics.
• Energy storage: Development of new battery technologies with high energy density and improved lifespan.
• Cleantech: the company’s green steel cleantech customer's program is ongoing and gaining momentum.
In summary, CalNano’s unique expertise in processing metallurgic powders into parts has allowed global leaders to trust the company to help push the boundaries of applied material science. Cal Nano offers advanced processing and testing machinery and capabilities across two manufacturing facilities for materials research and production needs. Its customers range from Fortune 500 companies to startups with programs spanning aerospace, renewable energy, defense, and semiconductors.

my experience with the company,part 1.........
looking but no touching.
it all started many many many moons ago,the company looked and acted like a dog with flea. the only consistent outcomes were losses,more losses, and losses galore,lasted over a decade since 2004 spac.ooouuuchhh. one number that troubled me or any sensible investors,was the salaries and wages on the expense side of the book,which always hovered around 50% of the topline,and stayed constant with increased topline.oouuccchhhhhh. this dog can be summarized on 2017(calendar year?) and prior with one word: toxic or "looking but no touching".
for some reason things started to change post 2017,the hemorrhaging of expense side of the book seemed being checked by a newly formed management team and bingo,the dog with controllable flea is here to stay.wooooooowwwww. so ever slowly,the flea started going away and this dog finally saw its first worthwhile record profit in q4 2023 fiscal year. wooooooooowwwww.soon after,the company moved to pay down its debt from above $1.5 million down toward $1.25 million,and restructured its debt.woooooowwwwwwww.its cash level went from a historical average of $50k to close to $300k.wooooowwwww.
to summarize 2004 to 2017:
watching the paint dry in a raining season
toxic
"looking but no touching"
had you not done the above,money down the drain.oooouuucccccchhhhhhhh.
to be continued.

Nanomaterial Technology Development and Usage
Nanotechnology creates nanoparticles with distinctive characteristics to meet the needs of the electronics, fabrics, cosmetics and biopharmaceutical industries. The assembly, manipulation, control and manufacture of nanoscale materials is considered to be the frontier of the 21st century in modern research. Nanotechnology has gained importance in the engineering and application of nanomaterials due to the fact that the physiochemical properties of materials are remarkably enhanced at nanoscale dimensions from their properties at their normal larger state.
The term “Nano” originates from a Greek word meaning “Dwarf” referring to a very small-sized object. It is also used as a prefix in science meaning 1 nm is equal to 1 millionth of mm or 1 billionth of m.
According to Precedence Research, the Nanomaterials Market Size will reach US$ 43B by 2030 with growth projected at a CAGR of 18.05% from 2022 to 2030. -June 17, 2022
By Application, key industries include:
• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Medical
• Energy & power
• Electronics
• Paints & Coatings
• Others
The aerospace application segment, for example, is expected to expand at a CAGR of 12.1% over the forecast period. Rising demand for lighter and more efficient aircraft has driven the rapid adoption of nanomaterials in aircraft and aerospace manufacturing.
Key Players include:
Strem Chemicals, Inc., American Elements, US Research Nanomaterials, Inc., Nanocomposix, Inc., Frontier Carbon Corporation, Nanoshel LLC, California Nanotechnologies Corp., SkySpring Nanomaterials, Inc., Nanophase Technologies Corporation, Cytodiagnostics, Inc., Quantum Materials Corp.
The U.S. market continues to grow due to increasing industry R&D activities. In addition, the U.S. government invests heavily in nanotechnology and coordinates work on nanomaterials with 20 government agencies.
A wide range of thermo-chemical methods are used to synthesize nanoparticles. In broad terms, the “Top-Down” approach utilizes physical manipulation and the “Bottom-Up” utilizes chemical transformation.
Another method, developed by a small company with major industry and government customers, combines Cryomilling and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technologies. It has recently gained industry notoriety due to notable successes that met and exceeded customers’ needs. Their proprietary cryomilling tech creates metallic and ceramic advanced powder systems. Applications for powders after cryomilling include Additive Manufacturing/3D printing, Advanced thermal spray coatings and making enhanced parts via Spark Plasma Sintering. In turn, their proprietary SPS technology reconstitutes powders to create high-performance materials with unique properties for advanced material research and manufacturing. This advanced consolidation technique allows for the rapid application of temperature and pressure via high-density pulsed current within a controlled atmosphere.
The company engages in the research, development & production of nanostructured components and materials. They are utilizing their unique technical expertise & vision to push the boundaries of applied material science for industry and US government agencies’ customers.
