"novel" might be exactly the correct word if the result truly is novel. "interesting" or "salient" may also be appropriate to attach to specific results that are truly interesting or have salience. i would stay away from hype like "revolutionary" or "exciting" or "groundbreaking". leave words like that to Madison Avenue. | |
