Summary

Story summary

New York University researchers have developed gyromorphs, a material that controls light for photonic chips.
Gyromorphs blend liquid and crystal characteristics.
They block light from all angles and address limitations of quasicrystals.
The study, published in Physical Review Letters, introduces a novel metamaterials approach using an algorithmic design for structures with 'correlated disorder'.
