Scientists have successfully switched on the world's largest 'Stellarator' fusion reactor.
Dubbed Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), the reactor is designed to contain super-hot plasma for more than 30 minutes at a time.
This week, the reactor produced a special super-hot gas for a tenth of a second.
Scientists hope that, if it can work for longer, it could eventually lead to limitless supplies of clean and cheap energy.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

And probably jettisoned a warp core while you were at it.
