US firm sets record with plasma fusion

1) I am impressed when I see this type of breakthrough but have no idea how its applies to real life.

2) Did any of the National Labs contribute?

The short answer is, no, we don’t make any substantive contribution. Classification guidance that covers the ultimate fusion sources, hydrogen bombs, effectively prevent NNSA scientists from offering anything besides, “no comment”. It’s foolish, but true. Livermore’s ridiculous laser fusion program has a DUSA that lets them play by a different set of rules.

The claims don't really make sense -- all I could find is this paper

Also the company's website lists no physical address or employees, I believe.

12:06 -- actually the question was phrased "any of the national labs" -- there was someone from PNNL listed on the paper, so the answer is yes to the original question. PNNL is not an NNSA lab though.
