    From what I understand, even if the current and magnetic field of this superconductor are low, it has:

    1. Identified a process for creating new superconductive materials
    2. Proven that ambient temperature and pressure superconductors are possible

      1. The original finding was written by experienced chemists, not physicists. There are some problems where solutions are searched for in the wrong directions.
      2. Our current generation of YCBO-based high-temperature superconductors started out as low-field, low-current, highly strain-sensitive, and over 30+ years of engineering development, these now carry >1000 amps/mm^2 in fields as high as 10T (although these numbers trade off against each other). It’s a matter of time.
