Would be a huge breakthrough if true. I didn't see any plans for experimental proof in the article. Seems to be in the modelling phase.

What mechanism would bind the photon to the electron?

They are working on the experimental aspect:

> Dr Giannini added that it should be possible to observe the phenomena he has modelled in experiments using current technology, and the team is working with experimental physicists to make this a reality.

That's the fun part, I think - finding out! I suspect that it is still the case that what we don't know about physics is more than what we do know.
