    Room temperature superconductors are right up there with fusion technology. Both are going to dramatically change the way the world works. Lossless transmission lines will save so much energy.

      If the recent Korean paper isn’t a scam it’s pretty huge. Even if it isn’t as big as announced (like a very low but positive resistance) it can already be a game changer for some applications

        Assuming it’s real, and depending on the future size, it could do faster CPUs without heat loss. So you would pack more silicon more densely without worrying about waste heat. Transmission lines would be more efficient. We lose something like 30 to 40% of our generated energy to transmission lines. So massive massive if it’s true
