Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 15, 2024. Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Condensed Financial Information The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and its results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2024. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may be invested in money market funds or U.S. agency bonds. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value. The Company's portfolio of short-term investments is comprised solely of U.S. treasury bills and agency bonds with maturities of more than three months, but less than one year. The Company classifies these as available-for-sale at purchase date and will reevaluate such designation at each period end date. The Company may sell these marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities depending upon changing liquidity requirements. These debt securities are classified as current assets in the condensed balance sheet and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses are recognized when realized. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other income, net in the condensed statements of operations when incurred. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed balance sheets. Recent Accounting Standards From time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. No new accounting standards issued or effective during the period ended June 30, 2024 have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
REVENUE | 5. REVENUE The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC No. 606. The Company generates revenues from engineering service contracts, license agreements and joint development agreements. The amount of revenue that the Company recognizes reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services and such revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the product or service to the customer. When the Company’s performance obligation is to grant a license, revenue is recognized either at a point in time (such as a right to use access The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by primary geographical markets and timing of revenue recognition (in thousands): Schedule of disaggregated revenue by primary geographical markets and timing of revenue recognition Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Primary geographic markets North America $ 72 $ – $ 90 $ – Asia Pacific – – – – Total $ 72 $ – $ 90 $ – Timing of revenue recognition Products and services transferred at a point in time $ 50 $ – $ 50 $ – Products and services transferred over time 22 – 40 – Total $ 72 $ – $ 90 $ – Unbilled contracts receivable Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers. Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. Unbilled contracts receivable represents unbilled amounts expected to be received from customers in future periods, where the revenue recognized to date exceeds the amount billed, and the right to receive payment is subject to the underlying contractual terms. Unbilled contracts receivable amounts may not exceed their net realizable value and are classified as long-term assets if the payments are expected to be received more than one year from the reporting date. All unbilled contracts receivable as of December 31, 2023 were billed and received during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Deferred Revenue The Company records deferred revenue for customers that were issued invoices, but the Company has not yet recognized the revenue based on its revenue recognition policy.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE | 6. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common stock equivalent shares, which include incremental common shares issuable upon (i) the exercise of outstanding stock options and (ii) vesting of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive. Since the Company has had net losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are equal. The following potential common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because the inclusion thereof would be anti-dilutive (in thousands): Schedule of anti-dilutive shares Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 Stock Options 3,613 3,364 Unvested restricted stock 567 555 Total 4,180 3,919 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 15, 2024. |
Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Condensed Financial Information | Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Condensed Financial Information The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and its results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2024. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may be invested in money market funds or U.S. agency bonds. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value. The Company's portfolio of short-term investments is comprised solely of U.S. treasury bills and agency bonds with maturities of more than three months, but less than one year. The Company classifies these as available-for-sale at purchase date and will reevaluate such designation at each period end date. The Company may sell these marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities depending upon changing liquidity requirements. These debt securities are classified as current assets in the condensed balance sheet and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses are recognized when realized. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other income, net in the condensed statements of operations when incurred. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed balance sheets. |
