Losslessly transporting energy over great distances. (assuming the material can reasonably be made in great quantities).
We could put up a bunch of solar panels in sparsely populated areas, and transport the energy to densely populated areas. (sahara -> Europe comes to mind).
Not these though, as the paper says they have very low saturated current loads.
So it won’t pass a lot of usable power any long distance. Which is a weird thing to admit if you’re faking a paper.
I still smell bullshit, but usually fake papers sound like they’ve discovered the second coming of Christ, they don’t admit huge limitations to their “product”.
