7. Soft Condensed Matter Physics in Molecular and Cell Biology

   Edited by W.C.K. Poon, David Andelman

   Series: Scottish Graduate Series

   Soft condensed matter physics, which emerged as a distinct branch of physics in the 1990s, studies complex fluids: liquids in which structures with length scale between the molecular and the macroscopic exist. Polymers, liquid crystals, surfactant solutions, and colloids fall into this category....
