In this talk I will explain what these negatively curved surfaces are, and give a variety of examples where they occur in nature. I will focus on the occurrence of these structures in a number of green butterfly species, where the structure acts as a photonic crystal. That is, the green coloration is the result of the nanostructure, not of a green pigment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nature&#8217;s amazing mazes : minimal surface forms in biology and chemistry Speaker : Dr Gerd Schr\u00f6der-Turk &#8211; Murdoch University Venue\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 : 3 March 2016 &#8211; 4pm (Murdoch University, SC3.39) Triply-periodic minimal surfaces are commonly observed as the spatial nanostructure of a variety of biological systems as well as self-assembled lipid or copolymer systems.
