It’s not brandnew information, mankind has apparently been able for about a month to artificially create temperatures hotter than the sun. But still, it’s probably worth mentioning… particularly given the last sentence of the quote: Record Set for Hottest Temperature on Earth: 3.6 Billion Degrees in Lab – Yahoo! News –

Scientists have produced superheated gas exceeding temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin, or 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit. This is hotter than the interior of our Sun, which is about 15 million degrees Kelvin, and also hotter than any previous temperature ever achieved on Earth, they say.

They don’t know how they did it.
