I know nothing about tech, what would a room temp superconducter be able to do?
Actual hoverboards, finally.
Transmit basically unlimited electricity over a tiny conductor without losses. You could produce (solar) energy in the southern hemisphere and send it north during northern winter through a small wire.
Maglev trains is one I'm excited about. But they are a holy grail in physics. They have a huge range of uses.
Just look at these quantum locking stuff. Imagine what manner of applications would be made possible if we can use it in our daily life without having to lug around liquid nitrogen to cool down the superconductor.
