“Soft and Biological Matter” is a series of authoritative books covering established and emergent areas in the realm of soft matter science, including biological systems spanning from the molecular to the mesoscale. It aims to serve a broad interdisciplinary community of students and researchers in physics, chemistry, biophysics and materials science. Pure research monographs in the series as well as those of more pedagogical nature, will emphasize topics in fundamental physics, synthesis and design, characterization and new prospective applications of soft and biological matter systems. The series will encompass experimental, theoretical and computational approaches. Both authored and edited volumes will be considered.
