Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
Researchers are developing light-based computers that use photons instead of electricity, which could offer greater energy efficiency and faster calculations. A key challenge is rerouting microscopic light signals on computer chips with minimal signal loss, which is fundamentally a materials-design problem. The article discusses how 'Gyromorphs' have chip capabilities essential for designing these cutting-edge light-based computers, addressing the materials needed to advance this technology.
