Under certain conditions, appropriately selected particles can form closed surfaces in liquids with surprisingly complex shapes, cutting through space via a regular network of channels. Advanced theoretical modelling carried out at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw has allowed researchers to look into the interior of cubosomes, spectacular three-dimensional nanostructures, for the first time.
