Because it will speed up computers a ton without requiring an obnoxious amount of cooling.
There. You see how easy that was? This doesn’t need to be an article.

I guess that is one of many applications. Also strong magnets, levitation (that is more funny or futuristic depending on application)

Lossless electrical transmission, tho deployment depends of financial viability of course, so the material would need to be relatively cheap

I mean, if you already know what a superconductor is and commonly used for, the answer should be obvious. I suspect most people don’t know what a superconductor even is, though.

For long range cable it doesn’t even need to be so cheap. If you can transport cheap solar electricity nearly without losses from the equator to more polar regions, that could be economically feasible already. Doesn’t need to connect every house with that material, just the big distances between generating and using regions.
