… I’m sorry to say that was a joke, because well, capacitors like to go boom (MLCCs as in here not so much, but still).

What I do know though is that these MLCCs often dramatically change their actual capacitance with temperature, so maybe this is a sort of “temperature isolation” to keep the capacitor more stable? Honestly, no idea though.

That’s an airburst capacitor!

Thanks for the enlightening comment! I see you know way more about this than I do, so, guy who I replied to originally, listen to this guy and not me.

I didn’t go far down into the scientific material concerning this, so it seems I was quite misinformed.

No, computing (as in general computing) will barely be affected. Computing uses semiconductors, which this (AFAIK) isn’t. Switching losses always occur unless you switch instantly, which is impossible. Most of the heat of cpus comes from there.

Specialized things like quantum computing are a different story.

What this superconductor could mean though: you could have a relatively thin cable from say, the Sahara to Europe, that can losslessly transfer energy. No losses whatsoever. So you can produce energy wherever energy is present, and use it where energy is required!
