1. A stabilized bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion (bijel), comprising:
a stable mixture of two immiscible liquids separated at an interface by one or more layers of jammed surface-active nanoparticles, and
bridges between the jammed surface-active nanoparticles of a layer of the one or more layers, wherein the jammed surface-active nanoparticles of said layer are characterized as sintered.
