    If this works at all, every material scientist in the world will be working on similar materials and manufacturing processes for them to improve the effect and make them more manufacturable.

          Agreed. Very rarely do scientific discoveries like this leak into the mainstream news cycle, but this one has and so it’ll be very difficult to keep people from losing their shit if any organization tries to suppress it.

        The fossil fuel industry opposing superconductors would be like Blockbuster trying to run a campaign to destroy the Internet to preserve their video rental chain. The rest of the world would tell them to sit down and shut up with their piddling little concerns and trivial economic power. Superconductors will be far more important.
