Celebrating 5 years of Soft Matter


28 May 2009

To celebrate Soft Matter's fifth birthday we will be offering free access to a range of 'top 5' articles each month. The first selection of 'top 5' articles has been chosen by the new Chairman of the Editorial Board, Martien Cohen Stuart.

"There is no Matter like Soft Matter!"
- Martien Cohen Stuart, Soft Matter Editorial Board Chair

Martien Cohen Stuart has chosen his personal favourite five articles published so far in 2009. Martien added that the five papers he has selected all have an element of surprise or unexpectedness and display conceptual clarity making them very appealing to him. 


The following five articles are FREE to download for one month from 28th May 2009 - click on the titles to read more.
