read the article, sounds almost scary. Have we discovered another form of energy that we can't harness? Perhaps another form of matter altogether? Solid-Liquid-Gas-Plasma-???

I have a picture of it doing those experiments in my two years old chemistry book :confused: Of course it wasn't of that particular experiment, but it is cool to see dem sparks fly! :laugh:

Bose-Einstein condensate - degenerate neutrons - solid - superfluid - liquid - gas - plasma - gluon-quark plasma

That's all I can think of right now...

During the unexpected powerful contained explosion, the Z machine released about 80 times the world's entire electrical power usage for a brief fraction of a second. Experiments with the Z Machine are helping to explain the physics of Solar flares, design more efficient nuclear fusion plants, test materials under extreme heat, and gather data for the computer modeling of nuclear explosions.


Interesting...
