Fusion scientists just pulled off what they’re calling a “tungsten miracle.” In a French reactor, tungsten—yep, the stuff from old-school lightbulbs—survived 22 minutes of plasma hotter than the Sun’s surface without cracking or melting. This is huge: for years, tungsten was considered too brittle for fusion’s brutal conditions. Now, it’s the star player, and could be the material that finally lets us build real fusion power plants. Who knew lightbulb metal could save the world? #Science #FusionEnergy #Tungsten
