Quantum computing is expected to have a revolutionary impact in many industries including finance, resource extraction, health, pharmaceuticals, logistics and data. Quantum computers will be able to solve some types of problems millions of times faster than conventional computers. Silicon Quantum Computing Pty Ltd, will have a key goal of retaining IP in Australia and boosting new industries based around quantum computing and other quantum spin-offs. http://www.afr.com/technology/unsw-joins-with-government-and-business-to-keep-quantum-computing-technology-in-australia-20170821-gy0tki?

I had the privilege of meeting Professor Michelle Simmons at the Australian Leadership Retreat this year where she was giving an address- very impressive .

The aim is to provide people with a home pick-up option for some of the "trickier" items the normal recycling bins can't handle - including soft plastics. https://wastemanagementreview.com.au/recyclesmart-goes-national/

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
