Communications in Soft Matter contain novel scientific work of such importance and interest that rapid publication is required. Communications are concise and should not exceed four journal pages ...

The team’s orb rolled vertically at a rate of about 0.5 millimeters per second. Regardless, Mitra and colleagues wrote that their observation “challenges our basic understanding of physics,” with ...

We rarely think about how liquids flow—why honey is thick, water is thin or how molten plastic moves through machines. But ...

npj Soft Matter has APC waivers available that can be allocated upon acceptance on an ad-hoc basis.For additional information, contact the Journal Publisher, Bo Liu.

Researchers conducted the study, published in the Soft Matter journal, to understand how certain shapes of synthetic self-propelled microswimmers affected motion and traction, ...

The University of Delaware’s Center for Hybrid, Active, and Responsive Materials is one such program (NSF DMR-2011824). The Princeton Center for Complex Materials is also an NSF-supported MRSEC (NSF ...

This is a never-seen-before state in soft-matter physics, and researchers do not know how it can be applied. The research findings were published in the journal Nature Physics.

Our scientific interests encompass different branches of soft condensed matter and optical physics, including novel laser trapping and imaging techniques, molecular and colloidal self-assembly, ...

Condensed matter physics, which analyzes the behavior of electrons in organized solid matter, has been treated as a completely separate field of study from soft matter physics, which deals with ...
