The article does touch on how newer designs could reduce sonic booms by making lighter aircraft. If a new supersonic jet is manufactured that is a fraction of the weight of a Concorde, it could be much more fuel efficient as well.

The article does mention that the size of the aircraft affects the size of the boom.
