Sean Barry, Fascinating to hear your story. I got introduced to gold atomic deposition because someone asked me to process and quantify their camera images of gold nano and micro droplets over time. Then later flame synthesis of SiC and SiN and other fine ceramics. If there are no raw materials, it is hard to build a new industry. Funny how one set of images and processes will stay with you for decades, Your offer of beer reminds me of Nico Van Kampen. He and I could talk about anything over beer. The only person I met who really listened and understood anything. One of my few regrets is that I did not get to Utrecht to visit him before he died. I will look for your book, but it is easier for me to simply take the 2.88 Million entry points for "atomic layer deposition" and find the people, processes, models, data, purposes and plans. It is not necessary to have homogeneous regions, because much of catalysis and action is at the interfaces. Chasing lithium is probably not as useful as looking more closely at pico scale vanadium, copper, tungsten, boron, iron, manganese and titanium. Nano is not small enough for the things I find most interesting. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation
