I do not understand the idea of those time crystals either...
On the ideal of a metal that conducts electricity but not heat?...
I am working out from that that they propose such that a CPU would do many operations without creating heat either, so in effect, we would get a super-cool computer that needs no cooling because heat is not being generated?..
If that is true, Battery technology, no more overheating batteries either?... or self cooling ones just by what they are made of?..
Its also looking like a good temp Regulator, because it works best at "A certain temp", and could then be used as an insulator below that temp, and a conductor of heat AFTER that temp....
So hows about a radiator on an engine that woks by conducting the heat away from the engine without the need for any water at all?..
I am therefore to presume air-cooled engines may get a lot of help by this?.

I think is is more a case of a jumper made from this metal can support something that WILL get hot, without allowing everything else to get hot - for example, you can make motor leads out of this, or leads for discharge lighting (as incandescent lighting is rapidly becoming a dinosaur) |

but is it a cheap way to do it? |

The article says it can be 1/10th the price of the standard method.
It needs to be scaled up in size, though.

WAY ahead of them. I forgot what I learned years ago. |

so let me be sure I understand this right. he has a crystal which shown movement while in its ground state by having atoms leaving ground state. and I have a car which can move while standing still, by having it not stand still while it is standing still. |

An older (very old) material I find interesting is Bismuth. It appears to be just another metal until you try to pick up a piece with a magnet.

It was a great day in science when they discovered that they could tame some of bismuth's negative properties by annealing it with pepto. |

As for bismuth, I had no idea it was so cool:
