Article in Physics Reports

Remarkable advances in the understanding of topological constraints in biological and soft matter physics in the past few years stimulated the European COST collaboration EUTOPIA to write a comprehensive review paper on topological effects in systems ranging from DNA and genome organization to entangled proteins, polymeric materials, liquid crystals, and theoretical physics, with the main intention of reducing the barriers between different subfields of soft and biological matter.  Simon Čopar, Miha Ravnik, Primož Ziherl, and Slobodan Žumer, colleagues from the “Jožef Stefan” Institute and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Ljubljana, together with colleagues from the EUTOPIA group, published a review article “Topology in soft and biological matter” in the journal Physics Reports.
