Sponge-like bicontinuous morphologies (see Figure and also cover) are ubiquitous in the physical and biological sciences, but are only qualitatively understood in terms of their structure. Here, 3D imaging techniques are used to explore the characteristics of such morphologies at the nanoscale, microscale, and macroscale. Comparison of local and global topology metrics provides quantitative evidence of similarities between these morphologies.
