I think combining Nyx (dark) + xylon (wood) makes perfect sense in a vacuum.
But these researchers have doomed themselves to forever explaining that no, they didn't misspell nylon, and yes, this is something completely different.

It's a perfect standalone name, why ruin it? Maybe copyright/trademark issues?
