      No sadly not, everything is destructable to some extent it just depends on how hard they are to break, the real goal is to make metals and materials that are very hard to destroy and that can withstand harsh climates.

      This is a big problem in tokomaks which are big machines for fusion, if we can find some better metals for the walls we might be able to solve fusion and never have any energy problems ever again!
