Isn't there actually quite a lot of funding available for uncontrolled hot fusion? https://www.icanw.org/squandered_2021_global_nuclear_weapons_spending_report ;) 162.158.38.32 23:29, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Note that controlled hot fusion (e. g. a functioning Tokamak) would also be really valuable. Nitpicking (talk) 02:17, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Someone explain why superconductors are a big deal
Arguably the temperature has to change for a semiconductor to work. For it to work at room temperature alone would be pure magic.
A note about the fusion connection. In recent years, there have been breakthroughs in high temperature superconductors, which theoretically would allow to build controlled hot fusion reactors at a much smaller scale (because they can create much higher magnetic fields). There are seveal private companies that attempt to do that, most notably CFS with their SPARC Tokamak. I think this is what is being referenced here. --172.71.160.54 08:16, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
