Abstract
The first observation of a cubic phase in lipid-water systems was reported in the early days of lipid polymorphism [1], at a time when the very existence of non-lamellar phases still met widespread skepticism. That cubic phase (Q230, see below) was the object of controversial reports: its structure was firmly established in 1967 [2,3]. Several other cubic phases were discovered since. In 1972, TARDIEU [4] listed five different phases of that class: more recently some of those phases, and others as well, have been observed in a variety of systems (see [5] and below).
