Soft matter

Soft matter is a branch of condensed matter physics that focuses on materials with complex internal structures, which are typically characterized by their softness, deformability, and response to external forces. It encompasses a diverse range of materials and systems, including polymers, colloids, gels, foams, emulsions, liquid crystals, and biological materials.
