Studying electrons, bridging two realms of physics: Connecting solids and soft matter

Condensed matter physics, which analyzes the behavior of electrons in organized solid matter, has been treated as a completely separate field of study from soft matter physics, which deals with liquids, gels, etc. But in a new study, researchers have now revealed that under certain special conditions, the electrons in solid matter exhibit similar properties to the constituent particles of soft matter.
