The article from MSN discusses a study published in *Nuclear Fusion* by researchers from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and the University of Illinois, which confirms that neutron bombardment in advanced fusion systems does not significantly degrade the performance of high-temperature superconducting tapes. These tapes, crucial for the magnets in fusion reactors, were tested under conditions simulating the neutron exposure expected in a fusion power plant. The findings indicate that the tapes can withstand the neutron impacts without losing their superconducting properties, which is vital for the development of practical fusion energy systems. This research supports the feasibility of using such materials in future fusion reactors, potentially bringing the world closer to achieving sustainable fusion power.
