The Soft-Fire 2014 conference will be held on July 29 – August 8 | Cargèse, Corse | France
Soft condensed matter is the subject of a large number of investigations all around the world, both from a fundamental point of view and from a more applied side, due to the large number of practical possibilities relying on the aptitude of soft matter to provide large responses to small sollicitations.
