Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have produced a superheated gas, which is hotter than the interior of the Sun.
The gas achieved the hottest temperature ever recorded when it reached 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit, or 2 billion degrees Kelvin. For those keeping score, the Sun is only a mere 15 million degrees Kelvin.
Using the the largest X-ray generator in the world, called the "Z Machine," Project Leader, Chris Deeney, says, "At first, we were disbelieving."
"We repeated the experiment many times to make sure we had a true result."
