I’ve heard a few times now in various scientific fields, mainly experiments, about things getting as hot as the sun.
How is this possible? Surely if you do something and you create heat that is that hot it would melt anything surrounding it?
Would love to know how this works 🙂

You can use electromagnetic fields to prevent the hot substance from touching any solid msterial that would melt.
This is the method used for fusion reactirs, which need to get insanely hot. The insanely hot plasma can be moved with magnetic fields, so if you create one in just the right shape you can basically contain the plasma without it touching a wall.
Btw that‘s also how antimatter can be stores; after all it would annihilate itself if it touched matter
