This is great news for Bruno! ;-)
I was interested in the computational complexity factor involved.

I do not have access to the paper at Science Direct but it might be good
to browse it before making any conclusion.
I would expect this to be done at the level of molecular mechanics and
this is very tricky to choose the right potential. Then it is unclear
how much of physical time have been simulated. 10 hours of simulation
time should be at the level of nanoseconds of physical time provided
they have not found a break through. Also it is unclear what boundary
conditions have been employed.
