Is this for real a laser that can make plasma hotter than the sun??  Here is more from The Los Alamos Lab:

Invisible infrared light from the 200-trillion watt Trident Laser enters from the bottom to interact with a one-micrometer thick foil target in the center of the photo. The laser pulse produces a plasma — an ionized gas — many times hotter than the center of the sun, which lasts for a trillionth of a second. During this time some electrons from the foil are accelerated to virtually the speed of light, and some ions are accelerated to energies of tens of millions of volts.

This is awesome let’s find out more on the next page
