US NUCLEAR PARTNER GRAPHETON'S PATENTED NEW "GLASSY CARBON" MICRO SUPER CAPACITOR SHOWS PROMISE AS NEXT GENERATION MICROCHIP

Canoga Park, CA -- April 19, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire

• $513B Semiconductor Industry is stalled with shortages and needs innovation for America to regain its leadership

• Biden proposing $50B to help remedy shortages and inspire innovation

• Capacitors used for storing energy are essential components on IC boards but are too big to be placed on a microchip or are inadequate when they are downsized as a micro capacitor to fit on a chip

• US Nuclear/Grapheton claim their patented new “Glassy Carbon” micro super capacitor can fit on a microchip and can be several orders of magnitude more powerful than micro capacitors currently used in cellphones and other devices

• Replacing clunky capacitors from IC boards to microchips allows for further miniaturization for smaller and more powerful circuit boards and also avoids energy transmission loss

• Each mobile phone has about 300 to 400 capacitors, each smartphone about 400 to 500, and each notebook computer or tablet device about 700 to 800 in each device

• Grapheton believes next generation microchips with “Glassy Carbon” micro super capacitors can replace current capacitor technology and can be rapidly put into production since they can be built right into chips by existing factories

• Grapheton is private company. US Nuclear owns 40% of Grapheton and has market cap of only $15 million with share price about $.60

The current microchip shortage caught the world by surprise and is causing shockwaves such as temporary closings of several large automobile. manufacturing facilities. The shortages won’t last forever but have nonetheless attracted investor’s attention to microchips and created a new focus on sustained manufacturing practices with a strong emphasis on innovation so America can regain its leadership in the crucial tech sector.

Never has the semiconductor or “chip” sector been more competitive, with more than 750 companies vying globally to build the insides of cellphones or the next hot device or power future mega computers. Investors may find it tricky to navigate this sector, but this major new opportunity recently announced by US Nuclear Corp. (UCLE: OTC) could become red hot.

The basic building blocks of electric circuits have always been the same . . . diodes, transistors, resistors, capacitors, transformers and wires. Most of these components have been miniaturized and duplicated on a tiny microchip but capacitors remain a problem. They have just been too big to put on a chip and are usually placed on the larger circuit board. There have been a few micro capacitors, but their storage capacity is almost useless. But now with the US Nuclear/Grapheton “Glassy Carbon” Super Capacitor MicroChip, there appears to be a breakthrough that could put America back on top in terms of innovation.

THIS GRAPHETON “GLASSY CARBON” MICRO SUPER CAPACITOR (BELOW) IS FOR HUMAN WEARABLE APPLICATIONS BUT IT IS EVEN MUCH SMALLER IN IC BOARD CHIPS AND IS USEFUL IN MOST MICROCHIPS FOR ALMOST EVERY APPLICATION 


EXAMPLE OF MACRO SIZE GLASSY CARBON CAPACITOR


US Nuclear Corp Announces New “Glassy Carbon” Super Capacitor MicroChip
US Nuclear’s Grapheton “Glassy Carbon” Super Capacitor MicroChip is believed to be a major breakthrough in chip evolution and with micro capacitors that can be more powerful than today’s clunky off-chip capacitors and several orders of magnitude more powerful than the micro versions now in use that have very little storage capacity.

From Big Circuit Boards to Tiny IC Chips
The new “Glassy Carbon” super capacitor microchip appears to have the potential to make circuit boards that can be miniaturized even further thereby opening the door to smaller and smaller cell phones and electronic devices. This could be the major innovative breakthrough that the industry has been looking for.

The breakthrough came about as US Nuclear’s strategic partner Grapheton was developing a microchip for human body implants that would not require a battery. Grapheton developed a chip that used the body’s salinity to provide power for the chip and they also developed the tiny “Glassy Carbon” Super Capacitor MicroChip that could store several orders of magnitude more electric energy than current on-chip capacitors so the chip would never run short of energy.

After developing this super capacitor microchip, US Nuclear and Grapheton realized that it has the potential to be used in all microchips in cell phones, automobiles, computers, televisions and pretty much all microchip applications.

TO THIS THAT WILL BE EVEN SMALLER IN MICROCHIPS


Short Milestone Path
Grapheton CEO, Dr. Sam Kassegne says, “While we are not a chip manufacturer, we believe it will not take long, perhaps 60 to 90 days, to have a chip manufacturer produce a variety of our first prototypes that we can use to demonstrate to interested companies.” Kessegne added, “These supercapacitors can be swiftly put into production since they can be built right into the chips as they are being fabricated by existing chip manufacturing plants.”

Conclusion
The semiconductor industry was reported at $513 billion in 2019 and projected to reach $726 billion in 2027. Grapheton is a private company which is 40% owned by US Nuclear. US Nuclear has a market cap of about $15 million and a share price of $.58 as of this writing.
