No they didn't.
(Posting this before I read the article. I will edit this comment after I have read it.)
Edit: Welp, second sentence:
>While the results don’t reveal anything new about lithium-ion batteries, they demonstrate how more powerful quantum computers could be used to accurately simulate complex chemical reactions in the future.
It's easy for a throwaway like me to hate. On the other hand, I have a cursory interest in quantum computing (I like listening to podcasts, occasionally read blogs like Shtetl-Optimized, and try to stay up to date somewhat?) and it's cool to see different applications in the wild that are novel. Even if but a modicum of progress.
A rule-of-thumb for any basically any quantum news is that, if it were true as the title suggests, you'd be hearing about it everywhere. It would be leading in every publication.

Reply to Before forming a peptide bond the amino acid contains a carboxyl group, which reacts with the amine group to produce a peptide bond and water is produced. What is the name for the new groups in an amino residue within a polypeptide, if there are any? Especially the C=O left from the carboxyl group? by flowergirlhyuck
The carbonyl group (C=O) that is left from the carboxyl group is now part of the peptide bond and is called the "amide carbonyl" or "carbonyl group" of the peptide bond. Similarly, the nitrogen atom from the amino group that is now part of the peptide bond is called the "amide nitrogen" or "peptide nitrogen".
