Interesting if it's true, and not an error or a misunderstanding. But seeing things like this:
followed by things like this:
worry me.
Scientists have produced superheated gas exceeding temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin
followed by things like this:
They don't know how they did it.
worry me.

They don't know how they did it
Exactly what the fuck does that mean? Thats like saying that I smacked myself in the face but I don't know how it happened.

Sheesh, guys, you should read more closely.
Something happened that, according to their hypothesis, should not happen. This means that they are surprised, and do not understand how they accomplished such a feat.
It's more like pushing a button, thinking that it will make toast, and the toast hits you in the face because it jumped up a couple feet higher than you would think it would.
Article wrote:One thing that puzzles scientists is that the high temperature was achieved after the plasma’s ions should have been losing energy and cooling. Also, when the high temperature was achieved, the Z machine was releasing more energy than was originally put in, something that usually occurs only in nuclear reactions.

It is a little more than that - energy is to the fourth power of temperature. The difference between 500,000,000 degree K and 2,000,000,000 degree K is a 256 fold increase in energy or greater than two orders of magnitude. If the energy did not come from the electrical current used to initate the experiment then where? That is the question of the hour!
"Mars" is also a chocolate bar found on Earth. These are highly concentrated sources of carbohydrates, which are of vital importance to many carbon based life forms. Mars bars are slightly rippled with a flat underside. They are sometimes used in English courtship rituals in which the female performs various allegorical oral acts with the chocolate bar, which is donated by the male as part payment for this spectacle.
