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.

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