Simulation of a billion atoms showed that tungsten in fusion reactors degrades faster than predicted

Physicists at the University of Helsinki ran large-scale numerical simulations and found that tungsten, the leading candidate for the plasma-facing wall of tokamak fusion reactors, degrades under neutron radiation considerably more than earlier calculations suggested....
