How do we predict the lifetime of superconductors when they are subjected to conditions that cannot yet be recreated anywhere on Earth?
Superconducting magnets inside a fusion reactor will experience conditions that aren’t seen anywhere on Earth. Materials scientists Susie Speller and Chris Grovenor are trying to predict how long these components can last in this extreme environment
