China's nuclear fusion reactor set new world record by running at 216million°F It also achieved a peak temperature more than ten times hotter than the sun Scientists hope the 'artificial sun' will unlock a powerful green energy source Next aim to run at a consistent temperature for a week rather than 100 seconds

...The machine, China's largest and most advanced nuclear fusion experimental research device, uses a powerful magnetic field to fuse hot plasma.

It is designed to replicate the nuclear fusion process that occurs naturally in the sun and stars to provide almost infinite clean energy....

Geez, I try to dumb it down for the masses and look what happens.
