Work on Active Topological Glass highlighted in the Journal Club for Condensed Matter Physics

02.12.2021

Recent work by members of the Computational and Soft Matter Physics Group on a novel state of arrested matter, the active topological glass, has been selected for a highlight and commentary in the Journal Club for Condensed Matter Physics.

Two publications by Jan Smrek, Iurii Chubak, Christos Likos and Kurt Kremer (MPI Mainz) have been judged to be of particular importance in condensed matter physics for bringing forward novel mechanisms in which activity can enhance mutual entanglement and thus structural arrest in topological polymer melts.
