It's going to be a long time before it's put into use if this paper is correct. While it's exciting that a mechanism has been discovered (possibly), it seems to imply that the current method of synthesizing it is partially luck-based, and not very high quality. Of course, if we do understand how it works, lots of people will put lots of research into making a more reliable process, but it's going to take time. I'm not sure a clear path forward exists.

If it’s shown it’s theoretically possible there’s going to be a gigantic reallocation of resources into productising it and figuring out to make production work. “It’s theoretically possible but hard” is a world of difference away from “unsure if theoretically possible”

I think this is generally true, but also if this is verified it will suddenly have billions of dollars thrown into it overnight... possibly similar to the speed that covid vaccine research was done; there's a TON of money to be made for the first company that can put this discovery to use. This is a once in a lifetime sort of discovery.
