**Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (NasdaqSC: ALTI)**

Dear Readers,

We hear it too!

The buzz will not be ignored and it seems that every time we turn on CNBC or listen to a market pundit the indomitable chant continues… “Nanotech, nanotech, nanotech.”

And while the drum is now beating loudly about this compelling science of the very small that many believe will revolutionize both industry and our daily lives, StockUpTick’s readers need no such tardy notice.

You’ve known about it for nearly two years.

Way, way back in May of 2002 we first brought a dynamic nanotech company to your attention called Altair Nanotechnologies. (See link to our profile below.)  The stock was then $.71 cents.  Over the last few days it’s traded well above $4.00.  Additionally, we sent you some interesting research on nanotechnology on June 25, 2002 just to help you understand this very promising industry. We believed in it that much! (See link below.)

And today, under our ongoing initiative to bring you hot stories in hot markets we’re pleased to be your courier for recent news from Altair Technologies that you may have missed.  Nanotech may indeed be the science of the very small but we believe it could be a mistake of enormous proportions to not have a basic understanding of this industry.

*** Nanotech News ***

Earlier this month Altair announced that it had struck a deal with Titanium Metals Corporation (NYSE:TIE) to develop a low-cost manufacturing process for titanium dioxide pellets, which are critical to an innovative new titanium electrolysis technology originated at Cambridge University and now referred to as the FFC Cambridge Process.  The contract will be funded under Titanium Metals' contracts with the Department of Defense (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA). 

DARPA awarded Titanium Metals Corporation $12.3 million for a four-year development program. Titanium Metals is leading an impressive team of researchers and some of the biggest and most well-known defense contractors, including General Electric Aircraft Engines, United Defense Limited Partners and Pratt & Whitney, as well as the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Cambridge.  This project has massive and widespread implications in numerous important sectors including military/defense, manufacturing, natural resources and many other areas.  The FFC Cambridge Process has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of titanium metal and dramatically expand its use in a wider range of applications that include lightweight armored military vehicles, the manufacture of automotive components and components for utility plants,oil and gas drilling, and lightweight and durable consumer goods - according to the 1/15/04 news announcement.  Altair's new proprietary technology provides a critical link in the development process.
