Wouln't this approach be useful to miniaturize antennas?

Not really, the sensitivities demonstrated are quite low in terms of what you can pick up with an antenna. Radios that were around in the 1950s routinely pick up 1 microvolt signals, which it turns out is about all you'll ever need. Noise from the environment swamps out any weaker signals.
