What is the Highest Man-Made Temperature?
Answer:
Scientists using the Z-Machine at the Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, have achieved temperatures exceeding two billion K (3.6 billion °F). The result was hotter than expected from the experiment, which produced the superheated gas, or plasma, by inputting 20 million amps of electricity into steel wires, but it is hoped that this may one day allow for more efficient nuclear fusion plants. The achievement was announced in February 2006.
