So we're like a solar panel that works in the dark. So you can put us in your device and then it can go down to the bottom of the ocean and it will continue to work. Or we can give it to our buddies at Intuitive Machines, and they can carry it to the surface of the moon, and maybe they want to throw a sensor off to go measure something, and it'll collect data, even though the sun stops shining.

So the cool thing is... Like I said at the beginning of this interview, we were going down this whole path of trying to understand the nature of the quantum field because we were motivated by where we might envision it could lead one day.

Maybe we could add more โ a deeper understanding of that physics Venn diagram and get to a point where we can figure out what do we need to put into the rings that go around that IXS enterprise concept shift, if you will. And so it's cool to think that โ Maybe we could come up with a technology that provides useful power today for things like this.

Maybe if we put it in aggregate, if we put a lot of them together, we could get to a point where โ What is that chip? So this is just a 3D print of having a bunch of โ of those little chips that are 5 millimeters by 5 millimeters, 1.5 volts, 25 microamps, if we add a bunch of those together at a very large extreme, that particular board might generate 3.4 watts.

And so that board could recharge your phone in... And so imagine a scenario where you had a phone that's pretty resilient that, for the most parts, you'd never have to plug it in. That might be pretty useful, right? And it's neat to think that pursuing this whole โ

reaching for the stars type of thing has fueled this exploration of pushing the boundaries of what we know and then kind of coming across instantiations that make us go, hey, wait a minute. Although we were thinking about these kinds of things, look at what we could potentially do now. And so we could find ways to, you know, feed the research and still bring value here in incredible ways.

I mean, this capability is amazing to think in terms of what it could unlock, right? Especially if we could, you know, if this is three and a half watts, you could imagine you put a bunch of these together, you could rapidly get to a kilowatt. or even more, right, and have expeditionary power.
