Is Nuclear Fusion Possible by Using Diamond Bullets?

According to Chinese researchers, there may be a new way to achieve nuclear fusion.  By using tiny diamond bullets, nuclear fusion could be a viable power source.  The way it works is that a minuscule (1mm) diamond is fired at around 1000km/s.  The diamond collides with a solid block of methane, producing copious amounts of energy.  Even though it takes a substantial amount of energy just to launch the diamond itself, the collision would produce even more, resulting in a net gain of energy.

However, this is all theoretical and has only been done in simulations.  There have been no physical experiments to validate that diamond bullets colliding into methane will indeed produce nuclear fusion.  Furthermore, the algorithm used in the simulation is not advanced enough to go through the process.  So far, not much past the ignition stage is able to be simulated.  It still raises the question; are diamond bullets and methane the future of power and energy?
