Insights from Soft Condensed Matter
Reviews of Modern Physics, 1999The physicist’s method of reflection about the world has, especially in this century, opened our eyes to the world as have few activities in history. Relativity has shown a profound link between space and time, unveiling a startling unity of mass and energy. Quantum mechanics has revealed that motion entails spatial and temporal periodicity, leading to

Soft condensed matter: where physics meets biology
Physics World, 2001The techniques used to study various forms of soft condensed matter can be applied to living systems, but there are differences in the approaches of physicists and biologists.

Phase Transitions in Soft Condensed Matter
1989This volume comprises the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Geilo, Norway, between 4 - 14 April 1989. This Institute was the tenth in a series held at Geilo on the subject of phase transitions. It was the first to be concerned with the growing area of soft condensed matter, which is neither ordinary solids nor ordinary liquids, but

Abstract Soft condensed matter is a very suitable system to be investigated with a probe of “neutron.” Typical energy range associated with soft condensed matter is tens of kJ (or a few meV), which is of the same order as those of cold neutrons. In addition, soft condensed matter consists of organic compounds and hence inevitably contains hydrogen ...

A Cocktail of Soft Condensed Matter
2000Soft condensed matter physics has evolved within the last two decades into a thriving field of inquiry. Arguably, it is unique amongst all other fields in physics in the diversity of the topics it encompasses. You just have to have a look at the subjects to be covered in this School to convince yourself.

Passionate about soft condensed matter
Physics World, 1997When I was a lecturer at Sheffield University in the UK in 1992, the staff of our new Molecular Materials Centre heard that Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, who had just been awarded the 1991 Nobel Prize for Physics, was doing a roadshow of talks in schools around France.

A high sensitivity pinhole camera for soft condensed matter
Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2003A significant improvement in the sensitivity of a Huxley-Holmes design for a small angle X-ray scattering camera is obtained by separating the mirror and the monochromator. The "separated optics" camera described in this paper involves a long X-ray mirror close to a point X-ray source associated with a curved focusing crystal located close to the ...

What Is Soft Condensed Matter ?
2000A well identified community of physicists has established itself over the last thirty years, which was present in the 1999 Geilo Institute. Looking back at the themes of the 14 previous institutes, it is easy to recognize constant themes throughout the meetings as well as a drift away from the initial ones.

Effective interactions in soft condensed matter physics
Physics Reports, 2001Abstract In this work, we present a review of recently achieved progress in the field of soft condensed matter physics, and in particular on the study of the static properties of solutions or suspensions of colloidal particles. The latter are macromolecular entities with typical sizes ranging from 1 nm to 1 μm and their suspension typically ...

Foam physics: the simplest example of soft condensed matter
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005A liquid foam is an easily accessible system that displays typical features of soft condensed matter. Here we summarise recent theory and experiments regarding foam structure, drainage and rheology, including the flow of trains of bubbles through specifically designed channels.
