Interesting article.

"The breakthrough isn't geared toward fashion, however. It was developed for 
use in electro-optical imaging and target-acquisition systems in order to 
improve those devices' sensitivity. One example of a use for the material is 
in telescopes to increase the instruments' ability to see very faint stars."
