Lame article... Nothing new, definitely not a breakthrough.

This is the first three ion nuclear fusion experiment I've seen. Have I missed a previous one?

The experiment is great. It provides a method for more efficient testing of nuclear fuels without the huge expense of a full on tokamak or laser confinement rig. However calling it a breakthrough in fusion is generous.

Fusion is an excellent prospective power source in the long run. But I swear if I see one more boy who cried wolf article trying to get me to believe "it's really happening this time" I'll puke.
