Superconducting research holds a lot of promise, especially in the field of quantum computing where it can aid in understanding the molecular structure of materials needed for superconductors, which would otherwise take years to test in a lab.
The importance of fundamental research and the support from academic institutions and governments is emphasized for the benefit of social progress. Tech transfer offices at universities have sophisticated deal structures for equity and royalties in the mid single digit percentages.
The use of quantum modeling through quantum computing can provide a molecular level understanding to superconducting research which is not possible to achieve in a lab setting. With the two or three orders of magnitude improvement in efficiency of certain industries, it has the potential to transform the industry.
Ron DeSantis expresses skepticism towards US policy in Ukraine, causing backlash from the Atlantic.
The spending run rate for the war in Ukraine is greater than what was spent during the 20-year operation in Afghanistan, which cost trillions of dollars. With a lack of funding and public support, the war in Ukraine is predicted to come to an end soon.
