I read that they had a similar result a few years ago at Fermi, although the experimental uncertainty in those trials was apparently quite large. I am of the belief right now that these results are probably erroneous, but by the same token I hope they aren't. After all, it was the measurement of discrete light emissions from black bodies that led to the entire field of modern physics, which I've been told was looked on at the time with skepticism. If true, this could be an equally important observation.
