If people manage to do this part:
> people are able to make a high performing material at an affordable price, people solve all the practical problems,
What are the implications of that? What are the effects? How does that change my life? How does it change society?
- weard_beard 3y agoCheap 100% efficient batteries.

- PaulHoule 3y agoMaybe we can build longer-range power lines that are cheaper. Buckminister Fuller thought we could use semiconductors to build a global power grid which could move energy from renewables all over the Earth. (Buzzkill: you still need to build a right-of-way for power lines and will have problems permitting. Europe has dreamed a long time of getting renewables from North Africa but Africans could well cry imperialism.) Better particle accelerators, MRI machines, fusion reactors. (If we can greatly strengthen the magnetic field the reactor gets smaller are more economical.) Better magnetic field sensors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID Possibly better logic gates post-Silicon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephson_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephson_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_single_flux_quantum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_single_flux_quantum Better magnetic levitation rail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev When I think of all those things I think the RSFQ logic gates are most likely to be revolutionary.
