      … if true, this is one of the big ones. Like the discovery of atomic fission, which led to power plants and bombs.

      This one leads to a lot of sci fi shit. We could never transfer energy without losing a big chunk of it to waste heat, waste that builds up and ruins everything eventually. This has held back electronics, and really almost all electrical applications for a long time.

      This would fix that. Room temp superconductor is your phone no longer getting hot, your computer no longer needing a fan system. It’s also easy maglev and small supercomputers.

        That’s the caveat, if it’s true. If it is? Future’s sounding much brighter.

        Also, TIL not to lead with a pun.

          Big caveat. This paper has not even been peer reviewed yet. Then has to be proven it can be replicated.

        Yeah… if true… this will out do the transistor, laser, MEMS, all of it.

        Massive amount of tech.

        It’ll be century defining, kind of like the discovery and wide adoption of electricity.
