Could someone explain what significance this has? It sounds interesting, but I'm clueless.

If i got right, there are multiple applications that can be studied from this system. Because it was hard to study the behavior of noble gasses with each other as they don't react with anything. Now for the first time, we trapped them together to interact, and took pictures!

One application i can see this helping is in fusion. At least from the math learned from this.
