Sounds like the next-generation of night vision is on its way.

If this is manufacturable, I can see lots of applications. Imagine taking sports photos of a football catch with a phone, not a 2000$ camera with an $8,000 lens to gather enough light. Or, a 3” telescope taking images without a clock drive that would have taken a 100” telescope a half-hour to develop.

Well that will end the Night UFO flights!

As moper people have HD cams on them 24/7 the Alines shifted thier flights to night.

Now they have to stop altogether!

Even the Chupacabara and Big Foot wil also have to make adjustments to their patterns.

it also uses 10 times less energy

This phrasing for comparisons always strikes me as wrong. If the CMOS one uses 500 mA, what is "ten times less" than that?

The next step is to work with industry collaborators to develop the graphene sensor into a commercial product.

Imagine pairing this technology with light-emitting electronics. The graphene sensors and light-emitters coating the entire surface of a vehicle. A better camoflage. One side of the vehicle (or clothing) sensing the light, and the other side emitting the same light intensity out, while reflecting the image seen back to the source of outside light coming at the vehicle. Invisibility. This has been done with existing camera technology, but very poorly. The graphene technology is more powerful whle using less energy, and will create a more seamless surface.

I remember when ASA 400 color film first came out. That was a dramatic change.
