Canadian fusion company General Fusion says its LM26 machine has heated plasma electrons to 1.1 kiloelectronvolts, or about 12.6 million degrees Celsius (roughly 22.7 million degrees Fahrenheit), a first for its magnetized target fusion approach. The company and the UK Atomic Energy Authority jointly announced the result Oct. 8.
