"Ordinarily you’re not likely to find any unpaired electrons skittering about in a superconductor — electrons like to pair up. But under the right conditions in the nanowire, it’s theoretically possible for an electron to hide itself, with each half hiding at either end of the wire. If these complex entities, called Majorana zero modes, can be coaxed into existence, they will be difficult to destroy, making them intrinsically stable."
It's essentially a tricksy version of hide and seek.
This is a needed threshold for quantum computers to deliver transformative, real-world solutions – such as breaking down microplastics into harmless byproducts or inventing self-healing materials for construction, manufacturing or healthcare.
I fucking hate stupid bullshit like this. Get RID of plastic, fags. Just like endless medical research to understand diseases that are all caused by chronic inflammation from shit diet.

Gotta chase that carrot on a stick.
