Why is the recent news around the LK-99 room-temperature superconductor such a big deal? What material impact would those findings have on electronics and modern technology?

    But it might help in general right? Less resistance means less thermal noise?

      At the temps needed, regular copper is superconducting.

      It could be helpful in some of the intermediary stages to reduce heat production, but it’s not going to be a major linchpin for quantum computing. They’ll still need cryostats and liquid helium cooling.
