This will be fun to watch. Thermal vision gear that is 'cheap' is in high demand, so there is a ready market for that if they can get it in production quantities.

Not just that

>could respond to wavelengths across the entire infrared spectrum

Depending on sensitivity achievable, this would be HUGE in a large variety of scientific fields, like analytical chemistry.

imagine building CPUs with "remote epitaxy" so much manufacturing parallelism we could achieve. i know it does not work like that. but that, should be in scifi movie, not traveling thru wormholes. (not sarcasm)
