Molecules
Hi everyone. CONTEXT:
"At the laboratories owned by XXX, military-grade supercomputers are running 24/7/365, analyzing thousands of molecules and compounds every day. However, with such a mind-bogglingly complex range of possibilities to sift through, the results of the XXX program have been remarkably disappointing so far".
The text deals with the use of supercomputers to find new drugs. "Fantásticamente" doesn't seem appropriate for the serious tone of the text. I don't know if there's a Spanish expression that preserves the "boggles your mind" concept.
TIA.
