Pat Gelsinger receives $150M from CHIPS Act to to build a Free-Electron Laser EUV

xLight, a U.S.-based startup developing an EUV light source based on a particle accelerator, on Tuesday signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the U.S. Department of Commerce for $150 million in proposed federal incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act. xLight came out of the blue earlier this year when it hired Pat Gelsinger, former chief executive of Intel, as executive chairman. The money, if awarded, will be used to bring xLight's free-electron laser (FEL) based light source closer to reality once it is built in Albany and its viability is proven in practice.

I am wondering if he can still able to change his car oil filter. When did he study about laser and at which university in US in order to build this thing?

Huh ? I thought he was already retired.
Why do old men pretend to retire nowadays. Maybe he got fired and tried to save face

If the electrons are free, then that's a definite cost savings! Pat knows what he's doing.

When does Jesus say you have enough money?

Don’t forget, it’s customary for Jesus to get his 10%, too, so he’s not walking away either.

What’s up with these corporate losers? They are all about power and ego.
At Pats (and LBTs) age he should be home pondering the simple things in life and enjoying his grandchildren. When does Jesus say you have enough money?

Pat is the only one real! Rest are all fake

He can build shiit now.

All the wonderful philanthropic things he could be doing with his millions but...he's still selling snake oil. Says allot about the man.

@a6 if you're alluding to Intel's history, then the first one out the door is Pat himself.
And some other bloke would reap all the goodies that he initiated

Pat has GEE-ZEUS on his side that's for sure !!

when you are connected the world (or taxpayer money) is your oyster
am i the only one not scamming the US government
jeez our debt is only 39 trillion

Pat got the money now let the xLight layoffs begin. Do you see a pattern here?

@a2 Yes. Space X will build one too and they have the incentive to actually make it work.

That’s $150M down the drain

Pat is Back!
