That is one thing. Going beyond the limits of an instrument : It is a case of re imagining sonic possibilities of the instrument. Technicians and composers/musicians alike have been doing this for years although the former are more knowledgeable and capable of making concrete changes. In the history of the piano (and ofcourse you will all know this) there have been countless changes of design, use of new material, controversies.
