I wonder if in 5 years from now we'll look back at this invention as one of the biggest breakthroughs in decades.
I hope so. Room temperature superconductivity would make so many things economically viable overnight...
can I get an ELI5 on why?
Well, a superconductor as the name might imply is a super conductor, meaning electricity flows very well through it with negligible resistance. This means generators of all types can be placed further away from where people are, especially renewables, like geothermal or offshore wind/water farms.
There's also the possibility of commercial mag-lev that could revolutionize high speed rail.
