    After reading the article, I still have no idea what photonic hypercrystals actually do. I assume that because this is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers they do something important, but what?.

        It's the engineers. After it's research, before it's just technology, they're up to things like /t/photonics and /t/spintronics. Yes, it makes our heads spin now but in no time we'll take it all for granted like the wheel or the inclined plane or the universal answer machines that knows all languages and has every book memorized. You know, everyday stuff.
