What kind of molecule is it? I’m amazed that it appears to teselate (sic) like those textbook molecules.

From the article: "...a 1.4 nanometer-long pentacene molecule comprised of 22 carbon atoms and 14 hydrogen atoms."

Oh no!!! The dreaded Hydrocarbon. We must sequester it or all the polar bears will die.
