There is no guarantee that "if this is real" that there's a workable path to current densities and manufacturing ease that leads to commercialization-- ever.
And if there's a path, it's difficult to predict how long following that path will take.
YBCO dates to 1986 and requires much less of a cooling installation than the superconductors that are in use today. We are just reaching commercial use in the past few years...
- resolutebat 3y agoYes, but that's also because the commercial applications of something that needs to be cooled to −180.2°C are also extremely limited.
- jacquesm 3y agoIndeed, there is no guarantee. But typically, once something is invented there is improvement over time.
