Would be nice if this would get peer reviewed and confirmed. Until then, I wouldn't count on this changing anything.

From the latest breakthroughs to historical discoveries and ongoing research, this category covers a wide range of topics related to science.
If room-temp superconductors can be manufactured at scale it will change a lot of things:
Room-temperature superconducting materials would lead to many new possibilities for practical applications, including ultraefficient electricity grids, ultrafast and energy-efficient computer chips, and ultrapowerful magnets that can be used to levitate trains and control fusion reactors. source
Note that the guy said if it gets peer reviewed. Many people have made many claims that would've changed the world as we know it, but until it gets repeated in controlled environments it doesn't change anything.
I think it's an achievable goal for sure. There's nothing I know of that makes room temperature anything but arbitrary so it could happen. If it did, yeah it changes a lot potentially.
I think I'll wait on any replication of results.
@Gentlegrrl from what i've gathered from the article in scientific american (#^https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/viral-new-superconductivity-claims-leave-many-scientists-skeptical/) it does sound suspicious, given that there is no explanation for what made this breakthrough possible.
