I personally find it pretty amazing that, as they mention, no one has succeeded in making a robot that can do it effectively. That is certainly a technical issue. It seems to me something that is highly automatable.

The fact that it is something that physicists are studying and it is published on Ars Technica seems to me to be enough to justify it being technical enough for Hacker News (which generally doesn't have to be technical per se, but just intellectually interesting to technically oriented people)
