Holy guac, room temperature superconductivity seems almost science fiction-y but just imagine the disruption it would make. I would be particularly excited to experience how much electric motors and energy transfer/storage and conversion would improve.

Apparently they reached superconductivity at 3K. Hardly room temperature.

The thing is they can use it to understand superconductivity because there are vastly fewer variables involved. It could lead to room-temperature superconductivity, assuming it even exists.

However this method is completely different and thus might open more options

[dredmorbius]

Vs. cryogenic superconductors is a radically different phenomenon.

And death rays. Don't forget about the death rays!
