I think the interesting bit is less about "breaking physics" and more about how finely tuned the material is to encourage this behavior without external cooling.

But there was external cooling, or am I reading "The temperature of the films was controlled" incorrectly?

He likely means cooling it below the dew point rather than controlling the temperature in general.
