This WEBSITE was created to realize the following, main GOALS:
Soft Matter systems have common features, such as the dominance of elements or local structures on the mesoscale, combined with their relatively weak interactions, which turns out to be sufficient to obtain a tendency to self-organize with even a small change in parameters. This additionally leads to extraordinary sensitivity to even minor endogenous and exogenous factors, e.g., nanoparticles and pressure. In the case of the latter, relatively low pressures P~1 GPa, or even much lower ones, can lead to phases/states with exotic features, often persisting after decompression.
Worth stressing, that for "classical hard matter" systems, a pressure similar to that at the Earth's core (~300 GPa) is typically required, and the resulting "exotic" properties most often disappear upon decompression.

Prof. dr hab. Sylwester J. RZOSKA (IWC PAN, X-PressMatter Lab NL10) became one of the Scientific Leaders organizing lecture sessions
during the International Discussion Meeting on Relaxation in Complex Fluids (10th IDMRCS), SPAIN, July 20-25, 2025.
Prof. dr. hab. Sylwester J. Rzoska (X-PressMatter Lab NL 10) also chairs this important "innovative" section:
"Linear and nonlinear dielectric dynamics."
