This technology is not new - saw it years ago in a paper presented at the ANTEC conf. in New Orleans. Materials that absorb then convert energy staes has been around for a while the thing with these materials is 1) stability (they tend to loose their functionality in a short time) 2) they are a bear to manufacturer 3) Th raw material costs are prohibitive. Many materials that have curious properties actually find interesting applications Teflon is a great example.
