'Super Steel' Sought For Fusion Reactors
Smivs writes "New research shows how
steel will fail at high temperatures because of the magnetic properties of the metal.
Scientists say an understanding of how the Twin Towers collapsed will help them develop the materials needed to build fusion reactors.
The New York buildings fell when their steel backbones lost strength in the fires that followed the plane impacts.
Dr Sergei Dudarev told the British Association Science Festival that improved steels were now being sought.
The principal scientist at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) said one of the first applications for these better performing metals would be in the wall linings of fusion reactors."
...it will be only the third time that fire has melted steel.
Ceramics Compound Steel with NanoMesh stabilizing support. Or a couple of layers of transparent aluminium ... oh wait, we ain't supposed to have that yet.
So, are you speaking of shameless steel? :)
Unfastened coins. Truthiness factor 11!
And if you are wondering what the hell "Wikipedia" is, I have a background article for you

Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power lost.
I know they produce stylish, compact and inexpensive wall-linings for fusion reactors, but the self-assembly is a fucking nightmare, and you always end up spending at least fifty quid on candles too.
Meta will eat itself
Steel just isn't good enough, something like a fusion reactor needs more Magical metals, for example they could look into using Mythril or Adamantite for getting some super strong metal walls...

It's people! 'Super Steel' is PEOPLE!
No, just an extremely rare "pleased" variation of the species: Grammaticus patriasocialis gauisus. These creatures have not often been studied by mankind, as they tend to evaporate when exposed to television, billboards, and ninety-nine percent of the American public. Their breeding habits are unknown, and their size and shape can vary dramatically. Since they frequently are seen to inhabit the lofty realms of thought without visible means of support, it can safely be concluded that they are weightless.
Those who advocate genocide deserve every protection afforded by law, and none afforded by common human decency.
What do you mean, 'black magic'? A tube can be filled and if it is filled, when you fly your plane in, it gets in line and it's going to be destroyed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of fuel, enormous amounts of fuel.
Not quite... scientists have postulated the existence of the Pedant's boson which would give them mass (as opposed to weight).
They plan to build the Large Grammar Collider which will fire a stream of apostrophes at near light speed and create scores of sub-punctuation particles, one of which may prove to be the elusive Pedant's boson .

So by your logic I'm also "removing the rights of christians" if I could engage in pre-martial sex?
There, fixed that for you :]
Hahahaha, touche :)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
You're making it really thought to believe you.
I think it was the contents of your head that imploded.
