Physicists Create Great Balls of Fire
dylanduck writes "Talk about having fun at work. 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."
The "cool video" looks more like a series of about a dozen still shots with one-second fades from one to the next. It's more like a slide show than full-motion video.
