I see lots of comments saying this is a huge deal if true. Can I ask... well, why? What can we do/make with this?

Basically really high density batteries that work efficiently forever, zero friction bearings via levitation, zero resistance long haul energy transport, and an MRI you can probably run on household current. Plus maximally efficient (not perfect efficiency just the best we could theoretically practically get) energy storage, transport, generation, and conversion back to motion.

    Wow, that really does make it sound like a potentially world-rocking discovery! (if it turns out to actually work in reality, of course).
