The files provided here contain 3D models of gyroid structures. These models serve to visualize and explore the fascinating three-dimensional periodic minimal surface that is found in a variety of real-world applications, from nanoporous materials to biological systems. The two example images showcase the natural occurrence of gyroid structures - one illustrating the formation of a gyroid in the pores of diblockopolymers via electrodeposition of gold, and the other depicting the gyroid structure within a butterfly's wing, contributing to its vibrant green coloration. These models provide an excellent educational tool for exploring this complex geometric pattern.
Disclaimer: The models and images were developed in interaction with and by various colleagues during my PhD in the U. Steiner research lab in Cambridge. The group has extensively published of using gyroid nanostructure in photonics engineering.
