The Language of Shape: The Role of Curvature in Condensed Matter: Physics, Chemistry and Biology License:perpetual and the effects of consumersThis book develops the thesis that structure and function in a variety of condensed systems from the atomic assemblies in inorganic frameworks and organic molecules, through molecular self assemblies to proteins can be unified when curvature and surface geometry are taken together with molecular shape and forces. An astonishing variety of synthetic and biological assemblies can be accurately modelled and understood in terms of hyperbolic surfaces,
