I don't think anyone can predict the applications because creating new materials could have many, or almost no, novel or useful properties. Look at how many different ways we can manipulate iron and create different properties, now there might be even more. Or maybe it isn't stable in bulk atmospheric amounts, but can be held under pressure and has some unique property to make it suitable for computing, or detecting certain kinds of energy or radiation, or forms piezoelectric properties or who knows. Maybe it can be used in optical data processing or amplifying.

Most likely this isn't going to revolutionize our world, but there is always that small chance, and we will certainly find some use for these novel states of matter somewhere, if not just more physics experiments.
