Amusingly, it's actually not all that new an idea. Using photonic pressure as a propulsion assist has already been used in a small handful of NASA spacecraft. The solar sail concept, which you're referring to, is just scaling it up and possibly giving it an external assist. (Lasers shot into the sail, allowing it to accelerate further and not need to rely on sunlight which will be effectively nonexistent in interstellar space.) Really neat stuff.

The life they're looking for is just the signatures of some elements required for it. I wish people would stop being so anthropocentric.

I am not sure how it makes us anthropocentric to wonder if life exists elsewhere in the universe.

Right, it doesn't. Not so much here, in this group, but elsewhere I see a lot of comments along the line of the assumption it's hominids on those planets.
