Physics of Soft and Living Matter
Research in Physics of Soft and Living Matter is highly interdisciplinary, lying at the interface between physics, biology, chemistry and engineering. Soft and Living Matter (SLM) is easily reconfigurable, often out of equilibrium, and includes both inert examples, such as liquid crystals and metamaterials, and living examples ranging from cells and tissues, to bird flocks and networks of neurons. SLM systems are typically heterogeneous and often active, carry information and are capable of self-organization and evolution.
