I skimmed the article and it seems like a confirmation of what has been expected....a legitimate discussion. I believe such findings have been made by other teams but I am NOT current.
You can read some additional background on dark matter gravitational lensing and filaments here which is consistent with the discussion in your article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physica...cale_structure and especially here which discusses different experimental techniques... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_ma...tional_lensing |

It looks pretty standard. The big thing about results like these is that they put more and more nails in the coffin of anything that isn't dark matter.
