I wonder how a room temperature normal pressure super conductor changes the calculus - high temperature super conducting tape still requires a lot of infrastructure to keep it that cold. A super conductor up to water boiling point seems like it might change things for magnetic containment fusion?

CFS magnets are smaller because they're able to use the newer-est tape for it, but if LK-99 turns out to be a success it'll help them make things even more compact. I really hope CFS succeed, their idea of creating a smaller tokamak with much stronger magnets just sounds right inside my head. I don't know anything about fusion except the basics, but oh my god is it exciting to watch from a distance.
