Soft Matter Physics

Soft Matter Physics is the study of materials that are easily deformed and that flow, like liquids, gels, polymers, foams, and biological materials. These materials behave strangely under different conditions due to their complex structures on a microscopic level. Physicists study them not only due to their interesting behaviors, but also because of their wide range of applications in various industries like food, cosmetics, and technology. It's a mix of chemistry, physics and engineering that seeks to understand and control the properties of these fascinating and useful materials.
