    Insane capacity batteries

    Lossless power transmission via wires

    Better magnetically levitating trains

    Much more power efficient computers, electronics

    The list is huge

      no i know many of the applications, its huge if true! i understand that, but almost everything like this comes with trade-offs, and i was wondering if there are any here that would make it non-viable for some/all applications

        The claimed saturation current is very low. If this is inherent and not just a first-try thing it will be less-good than permanent magnets for doing many magnetic-field things and less-good than Aluminum for some current-carrying things.

        It’s a perovskite, in semiconductor applications these have stability and durability problems.

        It might also be a scam. This would make it useless.

      The only drawback is that LK-99 is polycristalline… Levitating trains and computers, electronics, are a stretch as long as the material is not monocristalline.

      It is huge nethertheless.
