Vast of vloeibaar? Zachte deeltjes en de glasovergang in zachte materieSoft, glasslike materials have gained attention of researchers in the last couple of years, due to their ability of becoming a solid with a very soft structure. These structures can very well describe for instance human tissue or liquid/glass transition. PCF researchers have written an article about the latter in PRL.
