So, the interesting thing about this isn't that it is producing neutrons from a tabletop fusion device (been there, done that), but that it is using gas/plasma flow to stabilize the Z-pinch. This is a different approach than the simple Z-pinches used in Sherwood. I wish them luck.
Also, since this is HN, I should note that it appears that the group that is doing this research is raising series A funding (see: https://arpa-e.energy.gov/sites/default/files/03_SHUMLAK.pdf https://arpa-e.energy.gov/sites/default/files/03_SHUMLAK.pdf , last slide)
