Panels including honeycomb cores formed of minimal surface periodic tubule layers are described. Each tubule layer is defined as being formed of minimal surface elements that orthogonally intersect all of the faces of a kaleidoscopic cell at least once. In other words, for purposes of definition, the tubule layers are broken into elemental sections. The elemental sections are defined as minimal surface elements, i.e., elements having a mean curvature at all points on the surface that is equal to zero. These elements are further defined inside of kaleidoscopic cells wherein they orthogonally intersect all faces of the kaleidoscopic cell with which they are associated at least once. The minimal surface elements are smoothly interconnected to form tubule layers which are stacked in a reflection image-like manner to form a honeycomb core having no internal discontinuities.
