Some simple explanation maybe I’m late to the party

You know how computers, phones, electric motors and... well, all electronics get hot when they're running? That's because even the best wire, or conductor, in the world still resists the flow of electricity at least a bit. Superconductors don't; they're perfect conductors of electricity. They have some other interesting abilities, particularly when used as electromagnets: MRI machines rely on superconductors to function. But the traditional problem is that superconductors only exist at extremely low temperatures, like, near absolute zero. This makes them impractical in most applications.

Room-temperature, ambient-pressure (standard air pressure, that is) superconductors, if easily manufactured at scale, would allow the transmission and application of electricity with zero heat or energy loss due to resistance. Computers would be faster, smaller, and cooler; heat sinks could shrink (or vanish). Electric motors could become far more efficient and powerful, as well as more compact. Theoretically, you could store an incredible amount of electrical power in a loop of superconducting material, with no toxic chemicals and very little wear and tear over charge and discharge cycles. Fusion reactors could be built with far less complexity and far more efficiency, allowing net positive energy production. And these are only the obvious, simple applications based on our existing technologies; there are doubtless many other applications that would only become apparent after widespread adoption and experimentation.

The simple way to put it is that, if it can be produced and manipulated on a large scale, the conservative estimate is that a room-temperature superconductor would revolutionize every single electronic device on a scale similar to the invention of alternating current or the transistor. Well, maybe not toasters and other electric heaters, but everything else.

Very well explained, but still don't get the correlation between superconducters and frictionless transportation or hoverboards other than making the batteries cheaper

One ability of a superconductor is that It can discharge a magnetic force from inside, which has the potential to levitate objects such as trains, boards, etc

Gotta hope it’s real there’s been plenty of bs like this before

If it’s real tho absolutely massive step for humanity and masssive massive massive for stopping climate change

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would say that the elite have been sitting on something of this capacity for awhile. I’d accuse them of using the threat of impending doom to stoke political extremism and milk money from the everyday man while remaining RELATIVELY unconcerned about the end of the f***ing world..because they have all the answers scribbled on the palm of their hand.

But I’m not that kind of guy, and it’s easy to develop conspiracy theories around any piece of big news.
