That's the thing though with failed superconductors of the past: they were impractical outside of a lab.
What this discovery is show is that by using primitive/medieval tech (or whenever basic vacuums were invented) you can basically generate more power than modern computers and it's replicable outside of the lab. It takes 925 degrees celsius to produce the material, only about twice as much as a kitchen oven.
Because of the primitive tech needed and ease of access to materials that basically everywhere on earth has, everyone can generate an insane amount of beyond modern power now. A 3rd world country can modern up with no problems at all now.
Again, assuming this breakthrough holds true.
Now will be the race for people to monetize (and best believe some have already started moving) so I agree there, but because of how efficient and accessible this is, it may not even matter. If this is actually true, many companies are actually in trouble as this would make their shyt inefficient and obsolete.
Really good point:

MODS delete this thread, there is nothing to see here, whats goin on with kanye and ice spice tho?
Superconductivity is when certain materials conduct electricity without resistance. This cheap version of it can lead to magnetic levitation in cars and trains, free electricity and a futuristic world that you can hardly imagine.

0% energy lossI hope this is true.
From reddit
"If it turns out to actually work, we will have computer processors that are hundreds or even thousands of times faster than current devices. That's because the pathways inside an integrated circuit have to be made with conductive material(copper?) that has some resistance to electricity. That resistance causes heat. The faster the processor runs the more heat is generated, putting a limit on performance.
If the pathways could be made with a superconducting material that worked at everyday temps and pressures then they'd run much faster without generating so much heat that they damage themselves."
ok but what about the excess heat computers get super hot...

Yup instead of that wasted heat (which is a shytload of energy) going into the environment to do nothing but destroy it, it goes back into whatever work it was meant to do.0% energy loss

That alone is
Think about the difference in efficiency from that by itself.
Additional side effect is now your crazy computers, video game consoles, phones, etc. get even crazier as well.
Software apps can now push the limit hard af.
All the heat those generate means more power now for your system.
Now think about infrastructure and the power grid and how much heat that all generates. No more and they can put that heat to use to.
I'm really really hoping this is legit.
Those researchers not only found it, but they found it with really cheap materials and primitive tech. They basically found a glitch in physics:

Of course
But if it’s a lot cheaper to make them the world changes.
Also it hasn’t been done with cars yet because of the cost.
So now the cars of sci fi movies can be a reality for everyone eventually.
