World most powerful x-ray laser create moleculer black hole

I found this a bit interesting and a bit scary as well.
They were able to generate a molecular black hole.

There was a sifi book, "Thrice Upon a Time" that was based on the idea that once created the tiny black holes
would orbit the earth and cause all sorts of damage.
Stripping the inside electrons out is a strange event, it may have created a new element, but only briefly.
One thing I find odd, is that even though X-rays are small, the shortest x-ray is roughly the size of a CO2 molecule,(.01 nm).
The effect was not some sort of precision effect but adding energy to the entire molecule, All be it quite a bit of energy.

well they blasted the electrons away so the element had about 54 elections. the had guessed that about 45 would be removed.
what they didn't expect is that it removed 50 of them + the electrons that it managed to pull from other elements nearby.

then it exploded.

I wonder if the experiment is repeatable, I.E. will the same thing happen over again?
In my mind I see orbiting electrons, that have so much energy added that they leave orbit.
The puzzle is why the inside electrons would be picking up the energy instead of all of them?

that is what they had puzzled as well.
I was wondering that as well. if they could repeat it then it would be pretty cool.

while small now it could lead to gravity thrusters for ships.
they are already speculating on something like this but the technology doesn't exist yet.

It is interesting to peer out beyond the mist of uncertainty, and imagine what may be there!
 
was this really a black hole though or it just had similar effects with one?
