Brownian motion affects how small particles move around at small scales [0]. This is why HEPA filters can be effective even against smaller particles (which bounce around and get caught).
Specifically about the Molekule - their claims seemed to be empirically false and the device performed worse than a standard HEPA filter (and they were resistant to allowing independent tests at all).
When the tests came out awful their responses were mostly bullshit. [1]
