  • Author: William V. Meyer
In response to the National Academy of Sciences call for White Papers, we propose the following Research Campaign to create a Soft Matter Institute (SMI) that will support and enable the creation of innovative materials−−some of which have yet to be imagined−−and expand our understanding of the dynamic molecular mechanisms of life itself. Soft matter, based on materials derived from organic living organisms, has gone from studies of inanimate materials to active particles, devices and systems that cross the barrier from inanimate to life-like.
