How big kinda depends...

The two limits on superconductor performance are:

  • How much current it can carry
  • How much magnetic field it can withstand

It will soon go to National Labs to establish those parameters

Even if it's useless it's a massive step forwards in superconductor development

I guess you could say that even if it has low electric and magnetic capacity it still will have a giant impact on industry. But not all industries.
