BFDI>...Jeff....there is a guy at the company, not C.B.( who I have talked to a number of times in the past) that C.B. put in touch w/me couple months ago when I was making a pest of myself. Guy was straightforward about what the company was expecting to happen and how they were going to get from here to there w/o any help from anyone. Will try and get his name. Here's last few trading days-seem to have a trend developing. As soon as other states, counties, municipalities pass the legislation allowing the cameras for red lights it will be Katy bar the door for BFDI- 09/06/11 0.4100 0.4750 0.3850 0.4750 +0.0550 181,835 09/02/11 0.3900 0.4200 0.3900 0.4200 +0.0300 223,880 09/01/11 0.4000 0.4000 0.3800 0.3900 -0.0100 86,332 08/31/11 0.3900 0.4000 0.3800 0.4000 +0.0100 111,774 08/30/11 0.3990 0.4250 0.3801 0.3900 -0.0100 109,945 08/29/11 0.3600 0.4000 0.3202 0.4000 +0.0300 88,320 08/26/11 0.3500 0.3800 0.3350 0.3700 +0.0100 11,150 08/25/11 0.3600 0.3600 0.3600 0.3600 -0.0250 3,500 08/24/11 0.3850 0.3900 0.3850 0.3850 +0.0050 3,900

NXT.v- $.76 up .10...these guys are changing the way solar cells are going to be made-thin film technology as well....this is a big step-somebody will probably buy these guys out pretty soon- Natcore Scientists Prove Feasibility of All-Quantum-Dot Tandem Solar CellCould Double Power Output, Dramatically Reduce Costs Press Release Source: Natcore Technology Inc. On Wednesday September 7, 2011, 9:00 am EDT RED BANK, NEW JERSEY--(Marketwire - Sept. 7, 2011) - A research team working under Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NXT - News; PINK SHEETS: NTCXF - News) co-founder Prof. Andrew Barron has fabricated two families of multilayer quantum dot films, one with silicon quantum dots and the other with germanium quantum dots, both of which have demonstrated the ability to produce a photo-generated current. Achieved under the Natcore joint research agreement with Rice University, this advance has significant consequences for the thin-film solar cells that Natcore is developing in its Research & Development Center at Kodak's Eastman Business Park in Rochester, NY. It could eliminate the need for a silicon wafer subcell, also accelerating Natcore's drive toward a low cost tandem solar cell. Each film is comprised of layers of silicon or germanium quantum dots embedded in a silica matrix. The silica matrix is produced using the patented Liquid Phase Deposition (LPD) silica growth technology that Natcore has exclusively licensed from Rice University. Unlike preceding attempts to make such layers using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, Natcore's approach decouples quantum dot formation from the silica layer growth and allows for completely independent selection of quantum dot type, size and spacing in the silica layer. The photo-generated current measurements are the first of their kind for this sort of structure and showed unequivocally that both film types (i.e., with Si quantum dots or Ge quantum dots) were photoactive in different spectral regions. The larger Ge quantum dots were responsive to an infrared-rich light source and the Si quantum dots were responsive to a UV-rich light source, consistent with expectations. Smaller quantum dots (the Si quantum dot diameters were between 1 nm and 2 nm) will respond more readily to shorter wavelengths of light, while larger quantum dots (the Ge quantum dot diameters were between 5 nm and 6 nm) will respond more readily to longer light wavelengths, precisely as observed. "This accomplishment by Professor Barron and his group is an outstanding achievement and confirms that making, and ultimately commercially producing, an all-quantum dot tandem solar cell using Natcore's LPD film growth technology is on target," said Dr. Dennis Flood, Natcore's Chief Technology Officer. "Our goal to show that multiple layers of quantum dots can be assembled using a low-cost, complete wet chemistry approach has been validated. The fact that we have demonstrated photocurrent generation in both Si and Ge quantum dot multilayer devices means that the entire solar cell could potentially be fabricated without the use of expensive silicon wafers for the bottom subcell of a two- or three-cell tandem device. We could do so by substituting a Ge quantum dot device for the silicon solar cell and achieve the same overall solar absorption as would have been achieved with the latter. This achievement could make it possible to use low-cost, roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques to achieve a truly low-cost solar module that would have twice the power output of the average solar module on the market today."
