What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

We study the physics of biological systems and soft condensed matter such as gels, polymer networks, cells, and tissues. Our primary research interests include protein assembly dynamics, biopolymer ...

I'm interested in the equilibrium and nonequilibrium self-organization of soft condensed matter, including liquid crystals, colloids, and biomaterials. My research involves the use of computer ...

Condensed matter physics explores the emergent phenomena that arise from the collective interactions among an immense number of electrons, ions and other quasiparticles within solids and liquids. By ...

The National Academies has appointed a committee to carry out the first decadal survey on biological physics. The survey aims to help federal agencies, policymakers, and academic leadership understand ...
