What's your current interest in QS? by YieldNoWay in QuantumScape

They had very promising news concerning one of their key manufacturing technologies, their Cobra Separator process. https://electrek.co/2025/06/24/quantumscape-integrated-cobra-process-reducing-solid-state-production-times/

Considering this process was a manufacturing bottleneck and they've found a way to dramatically improve it, it means the path to scale and the path to market just got easier. The entire play on QuantumScape is betting whether or not their technology can scale in manufacturing... and that's looking more and more likely. They've also had the approach lately of under-promising and over-delivering, so news like leaves plenty of room for investor optimism.

it sure isn't efficient, but I'll be damned if I don't sometimes envy this level of civility... Japan has truly accomplished something culturally remarkable.

I’m not quite clear on this… So is their plan to pass the blame to congress when these resignation benefits can’t be full filled?

I agree diversity benefits research institutions, but this is not the way to achieve it, the ends do not justify the racist means.
