the title is a jumble of words to me

I think it's science since the Max Planck Institute is involved, but I'm not sure and at this point I'm too afraid of ridicule to admit it.

Don't feel bad, I literally said I was clueless upfront lol

So, from what I can gather from the word soup here, what this is is basically molecules made of smaller polar molecules like water. They were theorized to exist for a while but we've now been able to make them for the first time.

As for what the significance is, well... in the immortal words of Dr. Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1... "It's fascinating".
