You're cynicism is valid in this case. This is just rehashing research from 20 years ago on negative differential resistance (NDR) two-terminal devices.
Logic based on two terminal NDR devices has been around for more than 50 years (tunnel diodes, neon tubes,
Graphene switches have an on-off current ratio of ~3 (tiny and useless),
Well, that depends. The ECL gates that Cray used for their early supercomputers had nearly constant current. Some specialized applications still use ECL. If you're changing state frequently, low static current may not actually save power. So, if this new technology ever becomes practical, you'll see it in fast clocking cores where essentially every gate and flip flop is busy all of the time. The surrounding support circuits will still be silicon.
