# Fusion Watch — Weekly Summary
## Week of March 25, 2026
### Top 3 Papers
1. Self-healing W-Re alloy retains 87% ductility at 10 dpa
2. REBCO tape shows <2% degradation at 25T over 10k cycles
3. Gyrokinetic reduced model runs 10,000x faster with 15% accuracy
### Connection of the Week
The self-healing nano-void architecture in the W-Re alloy (materials science) shares a surprising structural parallel with defect-trapping mechanisms in REBCO superconductor tapes. Both fields are independently converging on engineered defect sites as radiation shields — a cross-domain pattern worth watching.
