If this becomes verified then it is very exciting - give me my hover board.

Even if it is entirely impractical in use, the thought that a room temperature superconductor may exist in one form or other is just more evidence that little stops the march of science :)

Absolutely! I really liked that this article didn't over-hype it and made the limitations and caveats very clear. While it's extremely far from usable, if we know of even one instance where this phenomenon occurs, we can try to figure out why, and then replicate on a wider scale.

Obviously it's not going to be in our living rooms anytime soon, but when we do crack this it's going to have a rather radical impact.

hover boards for all! that's what the future was _supposed_ to look like. next stop: jetpacs.
