Can someone with more knowledge talk a bit about the most immediate and practical uses of a room temperature semi conductor? From what I understand, non-chemical batteries (ie: current-trapped-forever-in-a-rock), hand held MRI machines, passively levitating trains, and dramatically simpler nuclear reactors are on the table. However, the articles I can grok don’t exactly give a hint as to how far A is from B - ie: does a room temp super conductor solve for 5% or 95% of these challenges?
I’ve never been filled with regret for not going to college. I did extremely well for myself and my family by avoiding it, despite my desire and my love for learning. But reading this… I’m very jealous of you physicists!
