They're a spark plug that has a small prechamber built into them.

This prechamber allows a richer condition to take place within it verses the lean condition throughout the rest of the combustion chamber.

This helps it ignite the fuel being closer to stoichiometry. At that point it develops larger kernel then normal that helps ignite the leaner area in the combustion area to the outer boundary area.

There's more to it, but that's it in a nutshell.
