NEW YORK, Jun 10, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GEMZ Corp., (OTC: GMZP - News) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, International Nanotechnology Corporation (INC) is planning to develop a solar-powered solution for powering laptop computers. INC previously announced that it had signed a letter of intent with Terra Solar Development Corp., a leading developer of photovoltaic and nanocell technology to acquire substantially all of its nanotechnology assets and certain photovoltaic assets as well. The solar-powered laptop charger will be the first product resulting from the planned combination. While laptop users everywhere need a cost-effective device that can continually power or recharge laptops without plugging them in, previous products use crystalline or polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells don't do the job, as they work only when they are recharged in direct sunlight. The INC product is believed to be the first to use PV Nanofilms, which combine thin films and nanotechnology so they it can also work indoors in most lighting situations. Nanofilms have elements below 1000 and even below 100 nanometers. The National Science Foundation (NSF) defines nanotechnology as consisting of components and elements 1000 nanometers and under. (1 nanometer is one billions of a meter or 10 Angstroms).
Dr. Zoltan Kiss, who upon completion of the acquisition will become Chief Executive Officer of INC and who is a noted inventor, with over thirty patents to his credit said, "This planned new product is the first of what we expect will be a family of consumer products that utilize nanotechnology to provide cost-effective solutions to problems not previously solved with conventional technology and which have wide consumer application."
The product is expected to be available for sampling in the fourth quarter of 2004. Pricing has not been announced but is expected to be very competitive with older, more limited solutions.
