Regarding mask production: I am talking about commercial sources. This was done previously mostly through IBM. That is essentially shut down. I am familiar with Hank Smith's work, but it is university R&D. The last remaining comm effort for masks to my knowledge was with HOYA/NTT, and that looks like it is coming to a close. I know of no commercial sources now for masks, although there are still a number of laboratories with the capability to make them. X-ray today only continues to exist by virtue of DARPA. There is no commercial interest apparently. Perhaps there will be someday. FYI: I currently hold no position in JMAR, nor do I have an opinion on their current valuation.
