  "abstract": "A micelle is defined as a loosely bound aggregation of several tens to hundreds of surfactant molecules, forming a colloidal particle. Micelles possess well-defined core and shell regions, both of which exist in a liquid-like state. This liquid-like character allows micelles to be dynamic structures, with surfactant molecules continuously exchanging within the micelle and between the micelle and bulk solution. In contrast to this classical model, we report rod-like reverse micelles with a well-defined three-dimensional crystalline core. The core is held together by hydrogen bonds and exhibits the morphology of a four-faceted, elongated crystal. Alkyl chains surround the core and sterically hinder it, confining crystal growth to a single direction.",
