(Not sure about the prefix. Choose intermediate to be sure.)

This article Physicists Recreate Classic 'Double-Slit' Experiment Using Time Instead of Space has it's basis in this paper:

Double-slit time diffraction at optical frequencies

It certainly sounds intriguing but is there actually anything new in it? It sound a little hype-ish...

I think the go-fast optics in the actual paper is a lot of fun and the result is satisfying. I dont know whether this expands the state of the art for modulating light fastly (fastly being a Trumpism).
The rest of the hype is just silly IMHO.

I suspected as much. Thank you.

is there actually anything new in it?

That's effectively what neutrino oscillation experiments have been doing for decades.
