The article above does not give a correct description, their work it is not about fusion.

With one electron removed, the remaining electrons around each ion settle into a different configuration, becoming too tightly bound for the laser to remove them. That means the X-ray photons can no longer be easily absorbed, and they fly straight through the material, making the previously opaque aluminium transparent to X-rays.

Here is an article from April with calculations based on their ideas. When they tested it some surprising things were seen. Nice work!
