Superconductor are more efficient at transmitting energy, here are some consequences:
- Cheaper electricity transportation
- New kind of batteries
- Consumer devices that don't heat up as you use them
- Simplifies the design of fusion reactors, which means we could have fusion sooner and cheaper
- Probably lots of things we can't even think of
If this is true, then you still have a lot of time before you can do industrial replication but given the stakes I imagine we will see immense inflows of capital into this.
