Reacción a "Reactions: A study still pending review announces the first superconductor at room temperature and pressure"

“There are some further considerations for the research. For example, it is not clear how electrical frequency affects the resistance.
 
There are lots of impacts of the research. Superconductivity at room temperature and pressure would mean that the electricity transmission system could be smaller and possibly cheaper – and conduction losses would be zero, therefore improving efficiency. The national grid loses energy in the long, high-voltage lines. This would allow further electrification within the UK, but also a much larger interconnection between nations – such as Morocco to UK or Iceland to UK to import zero carbon renewable energy.
 
The advances in the field could also help electrical machines become more efficient and smaller; electrical machines such as wind turbine generators could be much smaller and would be limited by mechanical design rather than electromagnetics. Moreover, the design flexibility of having much smaller machines might help their applications such as aerospace or robotics. Electrical devices such as sensors (like medical scanners) could also be smaller, less intrusive and cheaper.
 
The implications don’t stop there. Magnetic fields for industrial processes could be more commercially viable – such as induction heating for iron and steel making. Energy storage and grid support (for voltage and frequency variation) is cheaper and can be distributed, meaning that more renewables can be connected to the grid. Computing might be made with little loss, or at higher speeds. Quantum computing might take advantage of the zero loss too – and perhaps data storage might be faster too.
