About
Researchers study the physics of partially ordered and responsive materials, with structures often arising without external assistance, in living systems as well as in inert materials. The research comprises theoretical and experimental approaches, addressing problems that range from curiosity-driven physics, to applied aspects where they explore means to improve society and environment through understanding adaptive, responsive or otherwise smart active materials.
