Superconductor that works even with strong external magnetic field

Science

"...Normal superconductivity disappears when a large external magnetic field is applied, but this Ising superconductivity is strongly protected. Even in the strongest static magnetic field in Europe, which has a strength of 37 Tesla, the superconductivity in tungsten disulfide does not show any change.
..."

That's a surprise!

@humy
Did it say the transition temperature to superconductive behavior? Also, does that imply that material could be used to generate 30+ tesla fields also? 300,000 gauss.
Seems like that would make fusion reactors closer to reality if so.
