This month’s public lecture at the Perimeter Institute is by Michael Cates, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, on the weird properties of soft matter.

Cates is an expert on the theory of soft matter, such as polymers, colloids, gels, liquid crystals, and granular material, as well as the burgeoning field of “active matter.”

The live stream will appear below, followed by a recording shortly afterwards.
