Understanding and Controlling Soft and Living Materials.
Group led by Prof Eric Dufresne at Cornell University.
Two weeks ago the Softliv crew was at the 2025 Soft Condensed Matter GRC! 🍃

We shared our ongoing research, learned a ton from the community, and enjoyed many energizing discussions.

A highlight was reconnecting with our amazing lab alumni — nothing beats mixing science with good company! 💡👥

🚨 New preprint!

Could living cells use phase transitions to process information?

We explore computational aspects of biomolecular condensation — from classification to control — while posing questions on expressivity (problems they solve) and learning (how they adapt).

🔬 BPS 2025 is Around the Corner!

Teagan and Lotta will each be presenting their work on client partitioning in biomolecular condensates and their supramolecular structures! Join us for exciting discussions on the physical properties and organization of biomolecular condensates.
