Read here about events we participate, our latest research results, and stuff we find interesting. We share highlights from our group and from the world around us.
The soft matter community at large is a continuous source of research ideas and new insights, new exciting science happens all around the world, all the time.
We also think about the researchers we would like to be and what can we do to promote a more inclusive culture in physics. We believe that diversity of people is key to scientific excellence.
Follow us also on social media and look out for our latest and finest news.
