This special issue of Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter contains 32 papers that are a representative cross-section of the oral contributions delivered at the Ninth Liquid Matter Conference—Liquids 2014, which was held at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, 21–25 July 2015. All papers report original research and were thoroughly reviewed to this journal’s usual high standards. This issue thus reflects the current state of liquid matter science. The topics covered are: • • • • • • • • • • •
Ionic liquids and liquid metals Water and solutions Liquid crystals Polymers, polyelectrolytes, biopolymers Colloids Films, foams, surfactants, emulsions Confined fluids, interfacial phenomena Supercooled liquids, glasses, gels Driven systems, rheology and nanofluidics Active matter Biological and biomimetic fluids
