What a strange story, basically "Oh gee, we've created a sensor that is better than all other sensors using the material that everyone thinks is a super material" followed by "If the industry chooses to adopt his design, Wang said it could lead to cheaper, lighter cameras with longer battery lives for all."
Really? Ok so if you really create a sensor with a 1000x the light gathering capacity of CMOS sensors and a commensurate 1000x reduced sensitivity to noise, and if it can be manufactured in volume, why wouldn't someone build a camera with it? So why the 'If' in that last paragraph?
This guy published a paper two years ago [1] on creating light cavities in Graphene, This is the paper that they article is working from [2] apparently.
