Fluctuation X-ray diffraction reveals three-dimensional nanostructure and disorder in self-assembled lipid phases
Emergent nanoscale order in organic materials is typically characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering. Here, angular fluctuations in the diffraction patterns are used to probe the 3D structure of self-assembled lipid membranes, revealing previously inaccessible details on the phase geometry.
