Why weep? If this technology makes it to market and is as good as the hype, that's great news. In the mean time I'm quite happy with today's technology.
A figure of speech. Yes it is great news, but also unnecessary for my photography. It will be great for surveillance, Big Brother will love it.

They already know how to digitally alter the color of the light and automate the ticket where the video info is actually processed. But I look at the bright side too.
The face and volume recognition technology will allow a McDonald's computer system to automatically call an ambulance right when that twelve year old four hundred
pound diabetic waddles up to the counter to order his twice daily McMegaGreasemeal.
Depends on how these qualities manifest themselves in a final product. "Higher sensitivity" doesn't just mean low light performance. It means higher s/n ratio, which is pretty much everything as far as image quality is concerned. It means more dynamic range, greater color bit depth, and lower visible noise at every ISO. This translates into greater sharpenability, among other things.
And thank you, Drew, for providing a negative example of high s/n ratios.
One can only imagine the file sizes!!
Don't hold your breath - there is no technical meat here at all. No identification of the possible structure of a pixel let alone the integration of the carbon matrix into a compatible CMOS type process sequence.

ditto its all good, the past, the present and the future image capture.

That new brief says much of nothing. They still are forced to obey the laws of physics as we understand them today.
Until they publish their findings and produce a viable commercial product. This new brief remains much of nothing.
If you're after light sensitivity, there are currently more than a few ways to get it, regardless, the laws of physics as we understand them applies to anyone who tries to endeavor into these technologies.
