Q: I've been interested in NXO lately due to the market activity so I did a bit of research on the technology itself. The theory of flat lenses and the proof of concept that it works was discovered by Federico Capasso and his team at Harvard University. When their research paper was first published, Federico Capasso was contacted by one of the world's largest smartphone manufactures (which means they are now working on it). Since then many of the research team members have been picked off by various universities and companies world wide to develop it's potential further.
The point is (NXO) Nexoptic did not invent the technology of their prototype lens system.
So investors beware that NXO really has nothing proprietary, nor do they have the size and scale of potential competitors. The idea that an iPhone will someday have Nexoptic lenses is probably a bit of a stretch. The best outcome I see is that their telescope patent (if approved) is sold to a larger manufacturer, which is not going to make the average investor any money over the next 5 years.
I hope I'm wrong and wish them luck!
