Yes but they fudged it with the statement that only about 1% of the energy directed to the fuel was utilized, so they have a long way to go to a self sustaining reaction that is controllable, with recoverable energy.

It only needed to be over 1% of the consumed energy to justify the claim which is a long way from a net producer of energy.

I think they have predicted a battery breakthrough longer than I have been alive. It just feeds scepticism. I believe we will see fusion energy generation, but probably not in my lifetime.
