Interesting - although the supercooled nature of the material would rather limit macroscale applications.
This kind of thing tends to get mentioned in connection with things like quantum computers or nanotech - which may be the case or may not. So far Bose-Einstein Condensates and the like seem to be very interesting, but are rather thin on the ground in the applications dept.
I have an article by Robert Forward about the use of negative matter (assuming we had any) in space drives. I don't think this stuff would apply there, but some of the surrounding information in the article might apply and be interesting. I'll see about digging it out and giving it a skim to see if anything jumps out.
