Complex Liquids


How do colloidal suspensions freeze into the glassy state? When do protein solutions aggregate or crystalize? What is the orientational order of a mixture of short-molecules and long polymers? These are some of questions we try to answer in the study of complex liquids. This fascinating subject not only inspires fundamental issues in statistical theory and simulation techniques but also addresses important issues in the material and biological sciences.
