The amount of energy made available (about 1.1 MJ) is enough to heat roughly three litres of liquid water from 0°C to 100°C (without any melting/vaporizing), so this is quite a breakthrough. However, many more breakthroughs like this one will be needed before nuclear fusion will be available as an energy source, let alone as the solution for the energy/climate crisis.
@mapuc: why shouldn't we be capable to comprehend the meaning of this breakthrough (it's not a discovery, btw.)
