These guys have created luminous clouds of ball lightning up to 20 centimetres across and lasting up to half a second, longer and more realistic than before. There's a cool video too. They say it may even help understand how to contain the plasmas needed for nuclear fusion."

    Did I miss a meeting where everyone using a computer decided to mispell ridiculous as rediculous? There is no E in the word ridiculous. Everyone please stop doing that. This is not an isolated incident, it is part of some vast conspiracy to mangle simple, common words and test our resolve. Any spell checker will catch this sort of error. Please use one.
