Classical computers cannot simulate molecular systems more complex than two atoms
“We do not have the capability currently with our classical computers to simulate anything more complicated Than a two-body problem or a two-atom molecule, and we're really good at simulating hydrogen, so we can take that, put it into a computer, and understand…”

Cupta: Materials science breakthroughs take 20 to 30 years to commercialize
“It typically takes Decades, 20 to 30 years to go from a university idea of something into a full-scale commercialization because it's very, very challenging to be able to do material science research with PhD horsepower. It takes a very long time of doing that…”

Schroepfer: AI does not solve climate tech's manufacturing scale-up bottleneck
“AI for material science, great for discovering new materials. The manufacturing scale-up is usually the hard part. So great, I've got this new MOF. I've got to make a lot of it very cheaply. The AI doesn't really help me very much with that. Like, in theory, m…”
