The emails are correspondence between IOTA developers and researchers at the MIT-affiliated Digital Currency Initiative (DCI).
The DCI previously sparked controversy by reporting that IOTA was cryptographically vulnerable and generally broken. The IOTA team previously gave a comprehensive rebuttal, but rumours of IOTA's vulnerabilities have persisted and been widely republished.
These newly leaked emails present a very detailed look at the circumstances which led up to the initial DCI report, in an extensive 125 page back and forth. You can find it all here (PDF).

These will certainly propel IOTA substantially in the coming months ahead into 2020..
IOTA is also position as a useful medium for different blockchains to talk to one another instantly + zero fees.
NANO on the other hand is only focusing its use-case as a currency to compete with BTC, however, its architecture prevents it from having the same wide-use as IOTA does.
