Abstract
Beauty in the sciences: The extraordinary history of a three-periodic net and its associated surface, the gyroid, is recounted (see picture). These structures appear in diverse contexts in mathematics, as the topology for crystal structures in materials, which is the basis for liquid crystal phases and derived mesoporous materials, and in insect pigments.
