This was pretty awesome from a few days ago:

China's nuclear fusion machine just smashed Germany's hydrogen plasma record

Now physicists in China have announced that their own nuclear fusion machine, called the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), has produced hydrogen plasma at 49.999 million degrees Celsius, and held onto it for an impressive 102 seconds.

hydrogen plasma at 49.999 million degrees Celsius

Seems like an odd number. Maybe they need a thermometer which goes to over 50 million just to make sure it wasn't pressed up against the end stop.
