You thought they were using a DNS-based as filter with molecules?

  It's a pun on the DNS filtering software pi-hole. As nerdy as HN is it's safe to assume this is on the front page because the name sounds funny not because the majority are secretly spending years of their lives going deep into things like molecular studies posted in Nature.

    Alternatively, people upvote things which are intellectually interesting. Discoveries like this are interesting to read about even if you're not a molecular scientist.

      Molecular scientists are called chemists

        Not necessarily, while there is considerable overlap, molecular physics is considered a field of its own.
