Why this is a big deal:

Right now the only way to make "bright" EUV (100-200 watts) is to spray fine drops of a metal in a stream, then target and blast each drop with a laser.

pretty wild way to make light.

And they’re now going to hit each drop three! times instead of two, and increase to 100,000 drops per second. Very hard to imagine.

If you wrote a science fiction novel around the idea that we make computing devices by blasting fine drops of tin in a vacuum with a laser exactly 3 times at exactly 100,000 drops per second, nobody would believe it. Truth is crazier than fiction.
