    This looks like silly putty behavior.

    Someone tell me the industries that are going to benefit the most from this in the short and long term and what I can expect to see in the next 30 years as a result of this discovery.

      That sounds like a lot of work for someone to go do for a quanta article about something neat a researcher noticed.

        I worry that this sort of request will become the norm in the age of AI where people forget that people aren’t there to serve them.

      Maybe it will not have any mmediate application. But guess what? It's still cool! And that can be its very own reward if you let it.

      Oh, btw: electricity was a novelty toy for several long decades with no major practical applications. But that eventually changed because people kept researching it. And it changed the world.
