So is there anything interesting about this "new" development then?

  I didn't mean to come across as cynical — it's still a cool discovery, and it might turn out to be useful in some surprising niche context. The researchers do speculate that it might be > suitable for a wide variety of uses, including desalination of seawater, color displays, photodetectors, and optical components for communication devices. So: time will tell!
