1. A method of structure formation comprising:
- depositing a first medium on a second medium, wherein the first medium is charged;
shaping the first medium into a pattern, wherein the pattern is formed by the first medium'"'"'s reaction to the application by at least one of electric and magnetic fields; and
curing the shaped first medium, wherein the cured shaped medium substantially retains it'"'"'s shape upon removal of the fields.

11. A method of aphron production comprising:
-
flowing a core medium through an inner channel;
flowing at least one sheath medium through at least one outer channel, wherein the at least one outer channel surrounds a portion of the inner channel;
shaking the inner and outer channels at a design frequency f, wherein the core medium and at least one sheath medium flows into a third exterior medium, wherein upon flowing into the exterior medium aphrons are formed, wherein the aphrons have a core which includes the core medium and at least one sheath composed of the at least one sheath medium, and wherein the number of aphrons per second is about the same number as the design frequency f multiplied by one second. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
