This week's cool tech isn't so cool. It's running at over 300 degrees celsius... 3 times hotter than the sun. BBC News has an article describing the new fusion technique being used today that may be used in "medium-sized" fusion power plants world-wide in the next 10 years. An article from earlier this year describes a small-scale fusion technique that operates below 250 degrees celsius. Ain't that cool?
OK, the usual disclaimer:
