What it does not test. This does not show the technology has moved from a research demonstration into foundry scale production.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Lab demonstration only, not yet foundry-scale production, so parts answer unchanged. European Sovereignty Index
