Mapping structural heterogeneity in three-dimensional biophotonic gyroid networks using position-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering

Abstract The wings of select Papilionid and Lycaenid butterflies contain a three-dimensional gyroid network of a solid cuticle phase in air. In butterfly scales, gyroid networks are optically interesting, as they create the green colour observed in the wings of these butterflies....
