computer storage technology is a bit like a car's steering wheel.

we don't really care about it, as long as it works.

but if you are apple, samsung, amazon or google, grappling with artificial intelligence, augmented reality and blockchain, storage tech is a big deal.

that's because the existing technology is really old: at one end There is flash and the other, d-ram.

while flash doesn't need power to hang on to it's data, it is very slow. d-ram is fast, but if the power goes off, it forgets everything. plus, its physical size increases with its capacity and it's very expensive.

4DS Memory is currently commercializing a new type of memory called Interface Switching ReRAM that will sit in between both flash and d-ram.

talking to editor of insidemarket.net phil carey, 4ds ceo jim dorrian reveals discussions with some of the world's largest technology manufacturers about 4ds' reram.

he also explains why big tech players are interested in hIS technology and why it is essential to their development. [watch this video now]


4ds memory is currently collaborating WITH THE WORLD'S PREEMINENT RESEARCH FACILITY, IMEC, IN BELGIUM, to commercialize its technology.

having proven that 4ds' technology works at the bit scale, the next step is to create a working megabit chip: that's where imec comes in.

imec is a not-for-profit organisation with three and a half thousand staff.

technology is only accepted by their team if it is considered sufficiently significant on a global change scale. [watch this video now]


Jim Dorian was instrumental in the establishment and eventual sale of Arbor to Oracle for $4 billion in 2007.

As a general partner at Crosspoint Venture Partners his deals also included Bill Me Later's $1 billion acquisition by Paypal in 2008.


He is confident 4DS will become his biggest deal ever. so how does he make his investment decisions? [watch this video now]

In an InsideMarket, Sunday Morning video catch up, this morning we sit down with the Chairman of Phoslock Water Solutions (ASX:PHK).

Phoslock is a company with some simple technology which after 16 years, according to Laurence Freedman AM, is about to finally start generating a reasonable return.


Phoslock's share price has been flat for years, but has risen from $0.08 to $0.42 cents a share, since 2017.


Phoslock Water Solutions owns the global patents (bought from CSIRO) for Phoslock, a process which safely removes phosphates from water.

Phosphates are the food of algal blooms and other nasties, and a major source of pollution around the world.

HOW IT WORKS

In very simple terms, Phoslock is poured into waterways, such as lakes.

Published studies have shown that as it sinks, it attracts phosphate molecules and they stick to the Phoslock molecules.

The two sink to the bottom and the phosphate is turned into an inert and harmless material.

LISTED SINCE 2004, WHAT'S CHANGED ABOUT PHOSLOCK WATER SOLUTIONS?

Apart from refining its core product and application process, Phoslock Water Solutions has developed, over the past few years, an expanded business model by developing other remediation solutions for various water bodies, including running water in canals and rivers.

Phoslock has been cleared for use in drinking water in several key markets, including North America and China.

The company has a factory in China and staff of around 60 and recently posted it's maiden profit.

In 2017, it signed a Strategic Co-Operation Agreement with Beijing BHZQ Environmental Engineering Technology Company Limited.

BHZQ is 70% owned by Beijing Enterprises Water Group (BEWG), a Hong Kong listed company with A$9 billion market capitalisation, the largest water remediation company in Asia and one of the top ten water companies in the world.

According to Phoslock Non Executive Chairman, Laurence Freedman, that agreement and some general hard-slog over the past few years, has put the company on a runway to much bigger things.

He sat down for a chat with InsideMarket's Publisher Phil Carey.
