Quoting the article:
"We have employed light stamps to form structures down to 100 nanometers (0.1 micron) using the 248-nm light source now commonly applied in the semiconductor industry," says Bruno Michel, project leader of the microcontact processing team at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory.

Unless he's referring to a mercury bulb type light source (probably unlikely), it looks to me like he's talking about DUV lasers, which would be good news for Cymer. Also, the article says that the technique is only usable for lithography where there's a single exposure, such as optical devices. They're hoping to develop a multi-exposure version some time in the future.
