Maybe some advanced materials will make parts lighter, but smaller is a problem. Vented rotors? Maybe,, but not smaller. You can't change heat and getting rid of heat is an issue when things get smaller. Just look at high performance motorcycle or even car brakes. Massive is the key and weight is saved with materials, not size.
