QUANTUM SENSING CAN INCREASE CRITICAL MINERAL DISCOVERY BY 5X. In mining, less than 1% of exploration targets ever become mines. The average discovery takes 15 years to produce metal. Drilling eats up to half of exploration budgets, and most of it hits nothing. Quantum sensors are about to change the odds. Here's the real math. The problem: most deposits have already been found. What's left sits under hundreds of meters of barren rock, where surface geology tells you nothing. Miners drill nearly blind. Quantum gravity gradiometry reads the density of rock through solid bedrock. Different ores, different densities, different gravitational signatures. The deposit's location, depth, and shape, mapped before a single drill bit spins. The receipts, show this is a real improvement for miners. Australia's LANDTEM quantum sensor already aided discoveries worth $10B+. Diamond quantum magnetometers produce 8x more map data than the industry standard, flown on drones that map sites 10x faster at half the cost. Industry reports up to 30% cut in exploration operating costs. Stack those effects and we have created an educated assumption from the math that we could see 2 to 5x more discoveries per exploration dollar. Off a sub-1% hit rate, that's not an upgrade. That's a different business. And it's moving from labs to real testing. $INFQ is field testing quantum gravity sensors in Colorado in 2027 to hunt critical minerals. Congress has a bill directing the US Geological Survey to build the tech into America's national mineral maps. Their CEO's line: "America cannot secure the supply chains it cannot see." This won't spike mining output tomorrow. Permitting and mine construction still take a decade, and sensors don't fix that. What changes is the front end, the searchable Earth gets bigger. Most undiscovered deposits sit under cover, invisible to every tool except this one. $INFQ $IONQ $USAR $CRML

Let me explain why is @VardaSpace is such an important company A patient who has cancer has cells that have proteins that are activated leading to growth, replication and then damage. Targeted drugs work on these cells in 2 ways: 1. Inhibit the receptor (the protein), essentially jamming its function until the drug wears off. An example is Tamoxifen, used in breast cancer to block oestrogen receptor binding. 2. Degrading the receptor altogether so signalling doesn't work and the cell needs to spend time recreating the receptor before it can work again, an example being Fulvestrant which degrades the receptor itself. The second option here is important to understand because the effect of it significantly out lasts how long the drug lasts in your system. One type of these drugs is called PROTACs - it's a newer type of cancer drug that destroys these proteins (proteolysis) removing functions often related to cancer signalling. Now these drugs are complex, 15+ chemical steps and can be upto 4x more heavy than normal drugs. With each molecule taking many shapes, when packed together, they often don't form a uniform lattice shape. On Earth, gravity leads to convection currents that feeds these molecules unevenly into the forming crystal, too fast resulting in non-uniform crystal formation. These drugs: - Dissolve poorly when ingested - Have difficulties crossing cell membranes - Lead to unpredictable bioavailability - Require high doses in order to get enough drug in the system Varda here by @WillBruey and @zebulgar aims to solves this with undisturbed crystal formation growth in microgravity. With a new purer drug you get: - Predictable bioavailability - A more stable drug - A better outcome for patients This is Varda
