you know, liquid nitrogen in colder temperatures, biology, as we currently know it, stops functioning.

Now, it's not to say that you can't have things moving in liquid nitrogen.

You can, but that hasn't been explored and doesn't really need to be, because if biology can build things that can operate at low temperature,

Or maybe biology now, because you can make these big libraries of biology, maybe 10 to the 17th in vitro, and you can flip through them quickly and you can barcode them.

This is something that's never been done in electronics.

I'm not saying you can't do it in electronics, but you haven't made...

a billion different kinds of electronic materials, right?

Just, you know, in an afternoon, barcode them all and see who wins, right?

But we did it all the time in biology now, at least since 2004 we have.

And so...

So I think that's an opportunity is that we use those libraries to make much superior materials.

And we might even finally get a room temperature superconductor that way.

From bio?

It's possible.

I mean, from libraries.

We call it chemical slash biochemical slash exotic material libraries.

But the point is they're libraries.

They're essentially based in some sense on polymers, even though pieces of them don't necessarily have to be polymers.

Well, AlphaFold's very nice, but it's only part of it.

So there are large language models that are different from AlphaFold.
