Soft matter is a cross disciplinary research field involving physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. It studies physical systems that can be deformed relatively easily in response to external and internal physical and chemical conditions. Examples include colloids, polymers, gels, liquid crystals, and several biological systems. These materials compete with and sometimes outperform the traditional solid-state materials. Founded by pioneers such as Nobel Prize winner Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, soft matter theory is a field that has seen vast new developments in the last half century, in both fundamental and applied research.

软物质是一个涉及物理学、化学、生物学和材料科学的交叉学科。它研究的物理系统，可以相对容易地变形，以响应外部和内部的物理和化学条件。实例包括胶体、聚合物、凝胶、液晶和若干生物系统。这些材料与传统的固态材料竞争，有时甚至优于传统的固态材料。软物质理论是由诺贝尔奖赢家皮埃尔-吉勒·德·热内等先驱创立的，在过去的半个世纪，无论是基础研究还是应用研究，都有了巨大的新发展。
