Re: It's dead, Jim, but not as we know it
Temps superconductors work at has NOTHING to do with things like plasma temps. It's the holy grail because one doesn't have to use extreme cryogenics to make superconducting magnets for things like plasma confinement. They're only sideways related. It just makes things a little easier though your actual plasma pressure is the key issue not what temp the magnets work at - it's how strong they are.
Why must people say silly things whenever the serious issue of fusion reactors comes up. While people make snarky comments other people are getting it done.
