Hi:
I would like to receive your comments on the article just published by the Institute of Physics (see below) describing a simple means of producing nickel-cobalt nanoparticles using underwater sparks. Does this technique apply to HPQ and Silicon instead of Ni-Co? Can it undermine HPQ's presumed exclusitivity for nanoparticle manufacture? Do HPQ's patents cover this method? Thank you.
