MOND is not new, it's been around at least 5+ years. The basic idea behind it is that gravity acts differently at large, local scales, and so objects that "shouldn't" behave the way we observe them to really should because we just have been using wrong equations from Newtonian gravity.
A friend of mine actually gave a presentation in his cosmology class yesterday on why we believe in Dark Matter over MOND, so I'll ask him for a quick summary and post here.
