If this gets peer reviewed and confirmed, what would that mean? What applications would this material have?
Remote power generation becomes much more useful since you can eliminate transmission losses. Things like covering the Sahara with solar panels to sell energy to Europe become possible to think about.
what I can think of
No resistance => faster tech, less temp in tech
Hovering things, especially for public transportation
Cheaper mri
Also conserve helium, which would be huge.
How does no resistance lead to infinite charge? I can see it having approximately infinite conductivity sure, but charge? how?
Battery chemist here. That guy has no idea what he's talking about.
that's... not how this works
I see your edit but in case you’re interested - a capacitor is technically a 0 resistance battery for DC.
everything uses copper wire and want to reduce resistance can use superconductor.
Everything. Instant prize too
