I guess, what is the difference between a quantum computer and a supercomputer?

Supercomputers are a bit like your own laptop.

They function in a, a way that perhaps we're all fairly familiar with.

They're based around silicon, these kind of computers.

They run on bits, ones and zeros, from things like magnetization, spin up, spin down.

Each one could equal a one or a zero.

But supercomputers are much faster than your own laptop because there's absolutely loads of processors all jammed together to create something that can do far, far more computations than your laptop ever could.

Do we know what, what exactly is fueling this rapid progress?

So essentially breaking these batteries down into usable, simple components, where do they envision these components going?

Well, with, uh, this system, you're breaking down the polymers into their basic units, and then you're kind of upcycling them.

You're creating a, a product that has more value as a chemical feedstock.

So you're going from the top of the level, you're starting with a polymer.

It's not worth a great deal, all this waste plastic we produce, but break it down into ethylene glycol.

Well, still not worth loads, but then upcycle it and produce acetic acid.

That's worth a bit more.

Yeah
