I understand what they did. Can someone explain why this is a big deal?

If it is true, it looks like they can do D-T fusion. (Deuterium-Tritium. Both Isotopes of Hydrogen, but easier to fuse than D-D)

What this means is that they are on track for a possibly practical FUSION reactor.

It means virtually unlimited energy for whatever use they want to put to it.

Thanks. I thought was what it was. I know getting stuff really, really hot or cold are good for science.

I appreciate the help.
