A slight deformation of a double gyroid structure of a cubic Iād phase results in the formation of a phase with an orthorhombic Pcab symmetry. The phase seems to be an intermediate state towards a columnar phase made of helical pillars.

Michael F. Thees, Jennifer A. McGuire, Connie B. Roth
Efforts to reproduce the “Guiselin’s experiment” procedure finds hads(t) curves to be far less reliable than implied in the literature, being strongly dependent on solvent washing conditions, consistent with how adsorption in solution is understood.
