Don't let the "BreakThrough" keyword fool you, it's being used as clickbaitly. Reality is that Nuclear Fusion is maturing quite quickly and we might see application this decade.
Sounds like a third renaming of cold-fusion, then called LENR, now it is lattice confinement fusion...<p>Let's see if this turns out to be snake oil, or something comes out of it.
I don't understand the promise of lattice confinement fusion. While it is certain believable that they measured fusion events, the explanation they give involves several unlikely steps of one particle hitting another. Since each step is unlikely, the overall gain of the process is extremely low, like 10^(-6). It's not obvious how the gain might be improved to something technologically useful (over 1).
