Summary

Story summary

Researchers at New York University have developed gyromorphs that could enhance light-driven computing by blocking light from all angles.
Gyromorphs combine liquids and crystals, enabling complete light blockage from all angles, unlike traditional materials that partially block light.
The team used simulations to show gyromorphs' potential and plans to fabricate them via 3D printing.
These materials could advance optoelectronic components and optical computers, promising faster, more efficient processing.
