Even if this student was actually creating plasma, I am skeptical to say the least. My experience was in fission reactors not fusion, but even the article itself goes onto to clarify that he didn't actually build a reactor. So at the very least the headline is wrong. The extreme conditions to actually create a literal fusion reaction are virtually unobtainable by someone sitting in their bedroom. There's no way to my mind that he did what this article claims that he did.
